In the early 1980s, Robert Kennedy Jr. told a story to journalists about being ambushed in a bow-and-arrow attack by Indigenous people during a 1974 whitewater rafting trip in Peru.,” describes how one of his friends was nearly hit in the leg with an arrow, which penetrated a canteen nearby. Kennedy said he and his cousin,Bobby rummaged for the bow and arrows he had earlier obtained in a trade. He hadn’t brought them. Chris found a stick of dynamite and held it up.
The authors of the 1984 book, Peter Collier and David Horowitz, said years later that Kennedy agreed to interviews for their book because he was thinking about his legacy and believed his cousin had been unfairly anointed as the family’s political heir. . “He wanted to be seen as the sort of real heir to Camelot.
Other tales Kennedy and his Peru travel companions offered in the 1984 book include claims that Kennedy used bows and arrows “to shoot tree monkeys, which they roasted and ate,” and an incident where a drunk Indigenous person charged Kennedy with a machete, “gashing him in the back; he was aiming a coup de grâce at his neck when Chris Lawford jumped him from behind and wrestled him to the ground.
