by Roy Chapman Andrews ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 23, 1938
This is a first rate scissors and paste job, and the result is a thrilling adventure in science, in the life of a man who has penetrated remote quarters of the globe and made astounding discoveries pertaining to the farthest periods of history. First an ambitious youth, willing to do anything to get into the work of the museum, then the experiences in assembling the huge whale, then a sealing expedition to the northwest, then expeditions which took him to the Philippines, then the Dutch East Indies, to Korea, to China, Mongolia, the Gobi Desert. A good piece of editing -- grand reading.
