Unearthing Arabia: The Archeological Adventures of Wendell Phillips - Entrance

"Herein lies the story of a dream.... I hope [this] may stimulate those who, for better or worse, are born explorers, but I warn all others to whom romance, adventure, science, travel, and the lure of the unknown beckon that the

fulfillment of their dreams may also bring upon them the torture of split lips, swollen tongues, frozen fingers, dysentery, fever, heartbreak, and monotony beyond compare—all major parts of the explorer's life." -WENDELL PHILLIPS, 1955
