Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1935. First Edition, First Printing. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. Blue cloth with stamped gold titles; 8vo, 9.25 inches tall, 417 pages with map endpages, and b/w photo plates. The bindings are tight and square. small break in the paper of the front joint. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. No dust jacket.. Halliburton's fifth and last book, and details his epic adventures in a variety of remote places. "I had been commissioned to go anywhere in the world I wished and write whatever pleased me. My only orders were to move fast, visit strange places, to meet whomever was interesting - and to start at once," wrote.
Richard Halliburton was an American traveler, adventurer, and author. Best known today for having swum the length of the Panama Canal and paying the lowest toll in its history-36 cents-Halliburton was headline news for most of his brief career.
His final and fatal adventure, an attempt to sail across the Pacific Ocean from Hong Kong to the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco, made him legendary.
Nearing forty, physically exhausted, and in financial trouble, Halliburton thought to roll the dice once again, hoping that the charm which had always saved him in the past would materialize one more time.
It didn't! Soon after finishing this book, the intrepid traveler ignored the warnings of seasoned sailors and set sail on the ship that would take him away from his book-hungry public and into the arms of a watery death. This, his final book, is the ink-stained headstone of Halliburton's amazing life.
