As I became more annoyed with "Adventurer's" threads at the Fedora Lounge, I decided to create yet another while inserting a smidgen of history. Here is the man whose name everyone recognizes, whose face few recognize. Who is who? ![]() ![]() At his headquarters in Peking - 1925 ![]() ![]() In the Gobi Desert ![]() With Merin in the Gobi ![]() ![]() Getting around in the Gobi ![]() Successful Gobi antelope hunt ![]() ![]() It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | ||

1923 First dinosaur eggs discovered ![]() ![]() Still with Olsen at the Flaming Cliffs - 1925 ![]() Excavating with Granger ![]() Feeding his eagle chicks ![]() ![]() Roy Chapman Andrews, the real Indiana Jones. ![]() Note: For those who might be interested, Andrews wore a Colt Official Police (41 frame) chambered for 38 Special. His preferred rifles were Savage Model 99 in 250-3000 and Mannlicher-Shoenauer in 6.5 x 54 mm Mannlicher. And while his body count was not as high as Indiana Jones', there was a body count in the Gobi. North-central China and Mongolia were dangerous places during the 1920s. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | |||

Perhaps no longer in print, but your library almost certainly has some by Mr. Chapman. You might look for a recently published book titled Dragon Hunter. It is Chapman's biography with emphasis on the Central Asiatic Expeditions 1921-1930. Hope this helps. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it.
