Beschreibung

First Edition. GOOD solid hardcover with a vintage bookplate and a pastowner's name inside. Dustjacket is fragile with various chips & tears especially along spine. HIS STORY OF HIS LIFE'S ADVENTURE As Told in Letters to His Mother and Father ".these letters were written with no thought of publication, but only from a desire to keep his mother and father in touch with him, to share with them his daily life, his every dream. They account for nearly every week of his career, from the day he entered Princeton in 1917 until the day when he sailed forth in the gorgeous but ill-fated Sea Dragon." Many illustrations of his travels. Many photos. Halliburton sailed eastward on a Wenchow-styled Chinese junk named "The Sea Dragon". Nine hundred miles southeast of Yokohama, on March 23, 1939, the ship headed into a typhoon. Neither the ship nor its crew was ever seen again. Halliburton was presumed lost at sea and later declared dead on October 5, 1939. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 737
