LANGHAM, THE FORMER OWNER OF THIS BOOK, WHOSE BOOKPLATE IS AFFIXED TO THE FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. ILLUSTRATED WITH HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHS. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Richard Halliburton, (born Jan. 9, 1900, Brownsville, Tenn., U.S.—died March 23/24, 1939, at sea), American travel and adventure writer who spent most of his adult life exploring the world. Halliburton's literary career developed out of his meticulous logging of events that occurred on his own adventures. His first book, The Royal Road to Romance (1925), a chronicle of his adventures during his travels in 1921–23, was a best-seller for three years and was translated into 15 languages. Many of his later journeys were patterned after those taken by famous figures of the past, both fictitious and real. He followed Ulysses' route through the Mediterranean and emulated Lord Byron by swimming the Hellespont. He swam the Panama Canal, ran from Marathon to Athens, visited the penal colony at Devil's Island, and climbed the Matterhorn, Mount Olympus, and Mount Fuji. These and other experiences became the basis for his romantic narratives. In March 1939 Halliburton left Hong Kong aboard a motor-powered Chinese junk Sea Dragonen route to San Francisco. Both he and his boat disappeared after encountering a severe typhoon, some 1,200 miles (1,900 km) west of Midway Island. His works include: The Glorious Adventure (1927), New Worlds to Conquer (1929), The Flying Carpet (1932), Seven League Boots (1935), The Book of Marvels: The Occident (1937), and The Second Book of Marvels: The Orient (1938)."
