Item description from seller

A bright, fresh, unused copy. A fascinating look into the land of the head hunter and cannibal, and the wilds of New Guinea. The author died on the expedition. With photos throughout. "A collection of letters from a son to his father. At the time they were written, exploration of New Guinea was forbidden. The island was too dangerous. However, Ben S. Boyce was given permission to do so on the agreement that he would write a letter once a week during his expedition. These letters would be published in a newspaper called the Chicago Saturday Blade. The author's father, William Dickson Boyce (June 16, 1858 ? June 11, 1929) was an American newspaper man, entrepreneur, magazine publisher, and explorer. He was the founder of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the short-lived Lone Scouts of America (LSA). Boyce was so saddened over his son's death that his own health suffered, which led to his own death shortly after. Rarely offered in this nice condition.
