From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Esteban Lucas Bridges (1874, Ushuaia – 4 April 1949, Buenos Aires) was a Anglo-Argentine author and explorer. He was the third son of Anglican missionary Rev.Thomas Bridges.
He wrote a book "Uttermost Part of the Earth" (1948) about his life growing up among the Yagán inhabitants of southern Tierra del Fuego and the effect on them of the advance of western civilisation.
The Lucas Bridges trail was established to transport sheep from Estancia Harberton, the family home, on the coast of the Beagle Channel to Estancia Viamonte, in the north area of the island.
