He has lived with danger and death as a constant companion; yet his philosophy has led him to tackle fearlessly every problem presented to him.  He is the very embodiment of the spirit of adventure.  The simple charm of his personality, his keen sense of humor make him highly popular with audiences of all types.

ONE CRITIC SAYS:

With the spendthrift generosity of valorous youth new to the field, here is an author who crowds his pages with scalp-tingling yarns.  That man is going places.  Hearthside adventurers, keep your eyes on him.—

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR

Dear Mr. Peat:

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed Captain Craig's lecture at The American Museum of Natural History.

He is a splendid, fluent talker, has a delightful sense of humor and his story is interesting and thrilling.  We had a capacity audience which he held from the moment he began to talk until the very last word.  He has one of the best stories to tell of any one I have heard on the lecture platform in recent years.

Very sincerely yours,
Roy Chapman Andrews Roy Chapman Andrews Director
