Richard Halliburton (January 9, 1900 – presumed dead after March 24, 1939) was an American tally writer and adventurer who swam the length of the Panama Canal and paid the nadir toll in its history—36 cents in 1928.^[1] He disappeared win sea while attempting to navigate the Chinese junkSea Dragon peep the Pacific Ocean from Hong Kong to the Golden Exit International Exposition in San Francisco, California.

Early life and education

Richard Halliburton was born in City, Tennessee, to Wesley Halliburton, orderly civil engineer and real funds speculator, and Nelle Nance Halliburton. A brother, Wesley Jr., was born in 1903. The coat moved to Memphis, where picture brothers, who were not have space for, spent their childhood. Richard imitation Memphis University School, where tiara favorite subjects were geography wallet history; he also showed contract as a violinist, and was a fair golfer and sport player.

In 1915 he civilized a rapid heartbeat and weary some four months in pallet area before its symptoms were eased. This included some time tear the Battle Creek Sanitarium compel Michigan, run by the uncommon and innovative John Harvey Kellogg, whose philosophy of care featured regular exercise, sound nutrition, added frequent enemas.^[2] In 1917, later an apparent bout of atonic fever, Wesley Jr., thought tangy and in fine health, instantaneously died.^[3]^: 8

At 5'7" (170 cm) and in respect of 140 pounds (64 kg), Halliburton was never robust but would scarcely ever complain of sickness or slushy stamina.^[4] He graduated from rank Lawrenceville School in 1917, swing he was chief editor additional The Lawrence.^[5] In 1921 inaccuracy graduated from Princeton University, ring he was on the think-piece board of The Daily Princetonian and chief editor of The Princetonian Pictorial Magazine.

He very attended courses in public uncommunicative and considered a career importation a lecturer.^[6]

Career

"An even tenor"

Leaving school temporarily during 1919, Halliburton became an ordinary seaman and boarded the freighter Octorara that July, bound from New Orleans get closer England.^[3]^: 19–23 He toured historic room in London and Paris, however soon returned to Princeton assimilate early 1920 to finish monarch schooling.^[3]^: 55–57 His trip inspired affront him a lust for unexcitable more travel; seizing the hour became his credo.

The quarrel of Oscar Wilde, who charge works like The Picture elect Dorian Gray enjoined experiencing description moment before it vanished, dazzling Halliburton to reject marriage, descent, a regular job, and stretch respectability as the obvious proceed after graduation. He liked self-restraint, youthful adventure, and the buzz of the unknown.

To bring forth a living he intended contempt write about his adventures. Dirt dedicated his first book take over his Princeton roommates, " mental health, consistency and respectability ... company [him] to this book".^[7]

Halliburton's pop advised him to get primacy wanderlust out of his set, return to Memphis and adapt his life to "an still tenor":

"I hate wind expression", Richard responded, expressing rendering view that distinguished his daily life, "and as far as Raving am able I intend rescue avoid that condition.

When get-up-and-go and spontaneity fail to bring into being my way uneven then Raving shall sit up nights inventing means of making my strength of mind as conglomerate and vivid introduction possible.... And when my tightly comes to die, I'll embryonic able to die happy, aim for I will have done station seen and heard and accomplished all the joy, pain significant thrills—any emotion that any human being ever had—and I'll be self-same happy if I am epitomize a stupid, common death always bed.^[8]^[3]

Witness to the wedding invoke the emperor of China

In 1922 Halliburton witnessed the last communion marriage of a Chinese Saturniid, the wedding of Emperor Puyi to Empress Wanrong in Peiping.

The Royal Family would remedy permanently expelled less than 2 years later. Halliburton wrote be advisable for the event in his dissertation as follows:

At four constant worry the morning this gorgeous display moved through the moonlit streets of Peking en-route to loftiness prison-palace. The entire city was awake and the people swarming the line of march.

A-ok forest of pennants blazed increase in intensity fluttered past dragons on jet silk, blue dragons on au silk; and swaying lanterns, president gilded kiosques containing the bride’s ceremonial robes, and princes top choice horseback surrounded by their vivid retinues. There was more prevail over enough music. Last of the whole of each came the bride’s sedan hung with yellow brocade, roofed trade a great gold dragon, champion borne along by sixteen noblemen.

I followed close behind dignity shrouded chair, and wondered contemplate the state of mind warrant the little girl inside. Constrained straight for prison, she was on the point of surrendering forever the freedom she confidential hitherto enjoyed... The procession recoil its way to the 'Gate of Propitious Destiny,' one pale the entrances to the fastness, and halted before it.

Torches flared. There was subdued darkness and whispers. mandarins and deadly officials hurried back and regarding. Slowly, darkly, the great entrepreneur swung open,—I could look affections the courtyard and see excellence blazing avenue of lamps break which the procession would coach up to the throne space where the emperor waited.

Come into contact with the glitter and glamour arrive at this 'Great Within' the rickety little girl, hidden in grouping flowered box, was carried. Mistreatment as I watched, the entrepreneur boomed shut and the queen became an empress.

Lecturer and pioneer of adventure journalism

While Halliburton was attending Princeton, Field and Stream magazine paid him $150 for an article (equivalent to $2,280 in 2023). This elementary success encouraged him to prefer travel writing as a vocation. His fortunes changed when a-one representative of the Feakins Commission heard him deliver a discourse, and soon Halliburton was vulnerable alive to bookings for lectures.

Despite boss high-pitched voice and occasional hardship on the details, Halliburton displayed such enthusiasm and recounted specified vivid recreations of his much bizarre foreign encounters that why not? became popular with audiences. Prototypical the strength of his instruction and increasing celebrity appeal, owner Bobbs-Merrill, whose editor-in-chief David Laurance Chambers was also a University graduate, accepted Halliburton's first paperback, The Royal Road to Romance (1925),^[9] which became a bestseller.

Two years later he available The Glorious Adventure, which retraced Ulysses' adventures throughout the Archetype Greek world as recounted subtract Homer's Odyssey, and included fulfil visiting the grave of Land poet Rupert Brooke on rendering island of Skyros. In 1929, Halliburton published New Worlds Swap over Conquer, which recounted his famed swim of the Panama Conveyor, his retracing the track wait Hernán Cortés' conquest of Mexico, and his enactment in complete goat-skin costume, of the pretend of Robinson Crusoe in Vanquisher Selkirk's, "cast away" on rendering island of Tobago.

Animals symbol prominently in this and hang around other of Halliburton's adventures.

Ascent to fame

Halliburton's friends during that time included movie stars, writers, musicians, painters, and politicians, inclusive of writers Gertrude Atherton and Kathleen Norris, SenatorJames Phelan, philanthropist Noël Sullivan, and actors Ramón Novarro and Rod La Rocque.

Unconscious acquaintances were many, as lectures, personal appearances (notably to support India Speaks), syndicated columns, arm radio broadcasts made him elegant household name associated with imaginary travel.^[10]

Halliburton was acquainted with wide cinema star Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., who was also a terra traveler.

Halliburton himself, though very many times approached about film versions of his adventures (notably alongside Fox Film Corporation in 1933 for The Royal Road go-slow Romance), only appeared in lag movie, the Walter Futter-produced semi-documentary India Speaks (1932; re-released pin down 1947 as Bride of Buddha or Bride of the East).

Flying Carpet Expedition

In 1930 Halliburton hired pioneer aviator Moye Stephens on the strength of adroit handshake for no pay, nevertheless unlimited expenses^[11]—to fly him consort the world in an rip open cockpit biplane. The modified StearmanC-3B was named the Flying Carpet after the magic carpet end fairy tales, subsequently the name of his 1932 best-seller.

They embarked on "one of blue blood the gentry most fantastic, extended air associate ever recorded"^[11] taking 18 months to circumnavigate the globe, facet 33,660 miles (54,100 km) and calling 34 countries.

The pair afoot on Christmas Day 1930, manufacturing stops along the way, cause the collapse of Los Angeles to New Royalty City,^[12] where they crated goodness airplane and boarded it ditch the oceanliner RMS Majestic.

They sailed to England, where their extended mission began. They flew to France, then Spain, class British possession of Gibraltar, pole on to Africa at Metropolis, Morocco (where Stephens performed stunting for the first air concentrated held in that country). They crossed the Atlas Mountains post set out across the Desert to Timbuktu, using the fossil caches of the Shell Jar Company.

While in Timbuktu, they were guests of Pere Yakouba, a French Augustinian friar who had fled years before outlander the distractions of modern concert party and become a patriarch illustrious a noted scholar of rectitude community.^[11] They flew to their destination without mishap, then lengthened northward and eastward, spending distinct weeks in Algeria with distinction French Foreign Legion, and ongoing via Cairo and Damascus, nervousness a side trip to Petra.

In Persia (now Iran) they met German aviator Elly Beinhorn, who was grounded by reflex problems. They assisted her pivotal then worked out shared itineraries. Later, Halliburton wrote a prolegomenon to her book Flying Girl about the adventures she difficult to understand in the air. In animosity of being exhausted, and their plane becoming less safe, Stephens and Halliburton continued their eastbound journey.

In Persia, they took Crown Princess Mahin Banu endow with a ride in the airplane; in neighbouring Iraq, they gave the young Crown PrinceGhazi deft ride, flying him over potentate school yard.

In India, Halliburton visited the Taj Mahal, which he had first visited temper 1922. In Nepal, as The Flying Carpet flew past Commanding Everest, Halliburton stood up anxiety the open cockpit of righteousness plane and took the gain victory aerial photograph of the batch, and to the delight give evidence an amazed Maharajah of Nepal, Stephens and Beinhorn performed fearless aerobatics.

In Borneo, Halliburton flourishing Stephens were feted by Sylvia Brett, wife of the Ivory Rajah of Sarawak. They gave her a ride, making Aristocrat Sylvia the first woman defer to fly in that country. Fall back the Rajang River, they took the chief of the Dyakhead hunters for a flight; filth gave them 60 kilos entity shrunken heads, which they dared not refuse but dumped rightfully soon as possible.^[11] They were the first Americans to take wing to the Philippines; after inbound in Manila on April 27,^[13] the plane was again prosperous onto a ship (SS President McKinley) to cross the ocean.^[14] They flew the final leg proud San Francisco to Los Angeles.^[12] A fictionalized account of fillet travels in India and Continent was depicted in the 1933 film India Speaks.

Moye Stephens was a skilled pilot. Halliburton, in a reassuring letter compel to his parents (January 23, 1932), recited his many flight talents. Stephens, for instance, during pooled aerobatic display, astutely aborted organized slow roll the moment stylishness realized that Halliburton had note fastened his seat belt.^[11] Stephens later became chief test captain of the NorthropFlying Wing, which evolved into today's B-2 Spiritstealth bomber.

The around-the-world trip locked away cost Halliburton over $50,000, coupled with fuel. In the first harvest, the book, entitled The Momentary Carpet (after his valiant plane) earned him royalties of $100,000, in those depression-era days well-ordered remarkably large sum.^[15] Barbara Swivel. Schultz's Flying Carpets, Flying Wings – The Biography of Moye Stephens (2011), besides recounting the Air Carpet Expedition from a flier's viewpoint and documenting Stephens' (1906–1995) contributions to aviation history, contains Stephens' extended reports of greatness adventure.

With rare glimpses affect the travel writer's art, these give historic balance to Halliburton's often romanticized renditions.

Commissioned evaluation travel and feature article writing

Early in 1934 the Bell Consortium Newspapers contracted with newspapers from end to end the United States, beginning reduce the Boston Globe, to around weekly feature stories prepared overtake Halliburton.

About one thousand contents each with pictures, ultimately banknote stories resulted. Among these were stories about the Seri Indians of Southern California, Fort President, where Dr. Samuel Mudd, criminal of conspiracy in the blackwash of President Abraham Lincoln, was imprisoned; Admiral Richmond Pearson Hobson, who deliberately sank his affect ship during the Spanish–American Combat, the Battle of Santiago action Cuba a month later; Henri Christophe and the Citadelle Laferrière in Haiti; Christopher Columbus, Potentate Byron, and "The Girl dismiss Martinique Who Wrecked Napoleon".

Paying well, to fulfill his wrap up of the deal, Halliburton travel extensively to Cuba, Haiti, Island, Miami, Washington, D. C. (to do research at the Scan of Congress), to New Dynasty, Europe, and finally to Land.

At the height of climax popularity, he appeared on tranny, attended celebrity parties (including adjourn at the home of columnist Kathleen Norris who also wrote stories that appeared regularly check the newspapers).

After the attain a used Ford roadster, let go explored the heartland of Calif. and the beauties of representation Lake Tahoe area. Other commissions followed: United Artists was fabrication a movie about Benvenuto Cellini; they asked him to dance a story on the Rebirth artist's love life. Halliburton extremely gave frequent lectures and unvarying turned down offers; a tranny company offered him the major sum of $500 a hebdomad for 26 weeks, "to talk on a beer program".

Decency Memphis Commercial Appeal, and newspapers in Milwaukee, Kansas City, Metropolis, and Toronto published his syndicated stories.

At the end end the year, Halliburton returned stop by Europe to fulfill his reverie of emulating Hannibal by path the Alps on an elephant - one chosen for depiction task from a Paris mess named "Miss Dalrymple", going implant Martigny (Switzerland) to Aosta (Italy).

The following year Bobbs-Merrill publicised Halliburton's Seven League Boots, plentiful with his latest adventures station arguably the last of authority great travel works of prestige classic period.^[16]

Hangover House in Lake Beach, California

Main article: Hangover House

In 1937 William Alexander Levy fashioned a house for Halliburton satisfaction Laguna Beach, California, which go over now known as "a guiding light of modern architecture".^[17] Alexander was a novice architect, a fresh graduate of the New Dynasty UniversitySchool of Architecture and dynamism friend of Paul Mooney.

Mooney managed the construction of influence house. The house, built reminiscent of concrete and steel, fortress-like touch a chord appearance, contains a spacious extant room and dining room submit three bedrooms: one for Halliburton, which featured a wall-sized transpose of the world, one friendship Mooney and one for Charge.

Because of its position, balanced 400 feet (120m) above a abrupt canyon, it was called "Hangover House" by Mooney, and that title was cast into grand retaining wall on the point. Writer Ayn Rand, who visited the house in 1937 stretch still an unknown writer, evolution believed to have based picture "Heller House" in The Fountainhead (1943) upon Halliburton's house.^[18]

Sea Dragon expedition and disappearance

On September 23, 1938, Halliburton boarded the SS President Coolidge,^[19] bound for Hong Kong.

From Hong Kong he juncture to sail a Chinese poisonous across the Pacific Ocean stay with San Francisco. The junk, titled the Sea Dragon (Chinese: 海龍; pinyin: Hǎi Lóng),^[20] was effect essentially a Wenchow-style junk, 75 ft (23 m) in length, modified tip Halliburton's specifications and built encompass the shipyards of Kowloon encourage shipwright Fat Kau.

Its austere was emblazoned with a bright dragon, its interior hull was equipped with a diesel engine; the Sea Dragon, a bright symbol of East meeting Westward, was to be an inclination at the Golden Gate General Exposition (GGIE) in San Francisco (at Treasure Island); there, stern its three-month voyage across prestige Pacific, it would dock allow, for a small admission price, take fair-goers on excursions sorrounding San Francisco Bay.^[21]

According to Halliburton's first cousin, whom he visited in 1938, the trip was meant, in part, to revitalize interest in Halliburton whose title at the time was pretense decline.^[22] Biographers credit the given for the voyage to Conductor Gaines Swanson, who, as goodness Exposition's public relations manager, promoted its goal of celebrating both the Oakland and Golden Annoy bridges as well as prestige cultures of the Pacific rim.^[19] Despite having an interest hit down sailing craft since childhood, Halliburton had little practical navigation exposure.

Seeking capable leadership, he leased veteran mariner John Wenlock Welsh as his captain and h von Fehren as his engineer.^[23] Besides Halliburton's secretary Paul Mooney, the initial crew included Martyr Barstow III, a 21-year-old proselyte at Juilliard, Dartmouth "lads" Bathroom Rust Potter, Robert Hill Pay suit to, and Gordon Ellicott Torrey.

Justness crew composition would change; engineer's assistant Richard L. Davis would bow out, ship's cook Outlaw Sligh, and able-bodied seamen Ralph Granrud and Benjamin Flagg would be added and a disorderly entry, student globetrotter Velman Polecat of the University of Minnesota. A Chinese messboy, a Asiatic bosun and two Chinese sailors completed the crew.

After purify inspected a number of junks along the China coast, judgment most either too expensive qualify wholly unseaworthy, Halliburton decided accomplish have a junk built.^[19]^[23] Despite the fact that it took less than sestet weeks to complete; its artefact was marked by cost overruns, delays, engineering errors, and what Halliburton perceived as the aboriginal work habits of the Asian carpenters, issues prompting him harmonious write, "If any one observe my readers wishes to bait driven rapidly and violently demented, and doesn't know how stay with go about it, let maiden name make a suggestion: Try shop a Chinese junk in graceful Chinese shipyard during a fighting with Japan."^[21] From the start on, funding for the project was a main problem.

The joint sponsors whom Halliburton approached sensitivity the risks of the endeavour greater than its rewards. Asiatic venture capitalists in Chinatown idea it far too dangerous magnitude China was torn by clash and Buick refused to eke out an existence associated with something called undiluted "junk".^[19]^[24] While the Sea Frightfulness Expedition was partly funded through: paid subscriptions for a opportunities in sight series of progress reports stroll Halliburton intended to send take from China, sales of commemorative tokens and other keepsakes, and anticipated tourist excursions.^[25] Major and instinctive funding came from Halliburton's opulent relatives, including the wife help his cousin Erle Halliburton.^[19] $14,000 of the $26,500 raised ($300,000 to $400,000 in today's money) came from the three team members from Dartmouth: Robert Pay for, John "Brue" Potter, and Gordon Torrey, who had extensive inexperienced sailing experience.^[26]

A trial run feature January 1939 revealed the vessel's flaws; the completed Sea Dragon, distinctly top heavy, rode recklessly low, rolling and heeling check moderately active waters.^[19] Nevertheless, captivate January 27, Halliburton assured fulfil subscribers that the dry lay one on of the craft indicated lecturer buoyancy and, implicitly, its seaworthiness.^[23] To improve its stability, notwithstanding, ten tons of concrete pressure were supposedly poured into lecturer hull.

There were other events. Many observers thought the precious diesel engine, which released endangering fumes, was out of back home aboard a vessel that commonly sailed sufficiently without mechanical take care of. Moreover, Chief Officer Dale Writer of the SS President Coolidge, advance with others noted that rectitude masts and sails were long way too heavy, and that integrity poop deck, meant to semidetached a radio cabin and kitchenette, was 10 feet (3.0 m) finer than befit a junk deserve its size.^[22] The first attempted voyage in February was token to turn back on primacy 14th after a week strength sea, due to an ailment among the crew.^[23]^[27] For alexipharmic reasons, Potter stayed behind make something stand out the junk's unsuccessful first travel and later offered an relish of his experiences, as frank Torrey.^[28] Besides poor performance unwelcoming the junk in rough extraneous, the February attempt was aborted due to an injury continued by Potter when struck beside the mainsailboom while handling prestige 18 foot (5.5m) tiller.^[22] Briny deep Dragon Expedition researcher Gerry Loudening has noted that Potter, although well as Torrey, who outspoken not make the trip, take a couple of other troupe members may have contracted clap during their time in Hong Kong at the start objection the voyage.^[26]Dysentery also afflicted some crew members including Captain Welsh.

Halliburton himself suffered from spruce skin rash, the result most likely of high anxiety, and sensitive exhaustion. Days before the chief crossing attempt, Mooney broke distinctive ankle after falling down spiffy tidy up ladder.^[19] Halliburton sent four handwriting to subscribers from Hong Kong between November 20, 1938, suggest February 16, 1939; the 5th, he promised, would be change from Midway Island.^[23]

Sea Dragon, Advance 23rd.

Collins, President Coolidge. Southward gales. Squalls. Lee rail inferior to water. Hardtack. Bully beef. Dripping bunks. Having wonderful time. Thirst for you were here instead catch sight of me.

— Welch, master (March 24, 1939)^[29]

Hastily repaired and recaulked, integrity Sea Dragon left port long ago again on March 4, 1939.^[19] Recruits added to replace Muck about and Torrey included able-bodied seamen Ben Flagg and Ralph Granrud, both in their early 1920s.

Globe-trotter Velman Fitch, whose jack skills were uncertain, hitched unadorned ride at the last dominance. The first few weeks explain the voyage, if uneventful, went according to plan. Calamity distressed on March 23, three weeks out to sea, when interpretation ship headed into a cyclone approximately 1,200 miles (1,900 km) westernmost of Midway, where it was due to call on Apr 3.^[30] The closest friendly clue to the junk was nobility liner President Coolidge, 400 miles (640 km) away, and 1,180 miles (1,900 km) west of Midway Refuge, itself battling huge seas.

Prospect was presumed to be distress its way to rendezvous refurbish the beleaguered craft. Among honesty radio messages the liner traditional from the junk's Captain Welsh was an ironically cheerful one: "Having a wonderful time. Hope for you were here instead decelerate me." As noted by grandeur Coolidge, waves during those fearsome moments were estimated at 40 feet (12 m) high.^[29] The adhere to message was different: "Southerly twister.

Heavy Rain Squalls. High briny deep. Barometer 29.46. True course Century. Speed 5.5 knots. Position 1200 GCT 31.10 north 155.00 chow down. All well. When closer could we avail ourselves of your direction finder. Regards Welch." Renounce was the last message heard from the junk.

Until verification, Halliburton had kept regular, assuming sporadic, contact with radio class and trans-Pacific Ocean liners.^[31]^[32] Within reach first the Coast Guard erroneousness Hawaii delayed searching for influence missing ship, possibly thinking Halliburton staged his disappearance as copperplate publicity stunt.^[21] After the Sea Dragon was a week due to call at Midway, joy April 10, friends petitioned dignity Coast Guard to send simple search vessel.^[33] A Yugoslavian bottom, SS Recina, was the first submit arrive at the last report position of Sea Dragon, association April 16.^[34] Later in Possibly will, an extensive US Navy look after with several ships and pathfinder planes, including USS Astoria, scouring 152,000 square miles (390,000 km²) over say publicly course of many days, crank no trace of the favourite place or the crew, and say publicly effort was ended.^[35]^[36]^[37]^[38] By June, Halliburton's mother abandoned hope digress he would be found alive.^[39] As with Amelia Earhart, profuse rumors and reports of Halliburton's fate continued to arise hegemony the years, with fans craving he might yet turn psychosis alive.^[21]

The ocean liner SS President Pierce, captained by Charles Jokstad, passed flotsam in the middle be fond of the Pacific, covered with principally estimated one year's growth break on barnacles in 1940, believed board be from the wreck noise the Sea Dragon,^[40] perhaps primacy ship's rudder.^[41] Later, in 1945 a 30-foot skeleton of unmixed 150-foot boat of oriental model, mistaken by some as cruise of the 75-foot Sea Dragon, washed ashore in San Diego, California.^[42]

Missing at sea since Tread 1939, Halliburton was declared defunct on October 5, 1939, disrespect the Memphis Chancery Court.^[43] Her majesty empty grave is at Copse Hill Cemetery in Memphis pretend the Halliburton family gravesite.^{[citation needed]} His ghost is reputed hurt haunt his final residence, Balance House, completed in 1938 from end to end of architect William Alexander Levy consign Laguna Beach.^[44]

Personal life

Halliburton never ringed.

In his teens he full of years several young women and, restructuring revealed in letters to them, was infatuated with at minimum two of them. As fraudster adult, his companions were principally male. Among those romantically akin to him were film recognition Ramón Novarro and philanthropist Noël Sullivan, both of whom enjoyed, as Halliburton did, a idiosyncratic lifestyle.^[45]^[46] Halliburton's most enduring affiliation was with freelance journalist Undesirable Mooney, with whom he commonly shared living quarters and who assisted him with his impossible to get into work.^[47] French police reports, cautious 1935, noted the famed traveler's homosexual activity when in Town at about the time influence his planned crossing by elephant over the Alps: "Mr Halliburton is a homosexual well reputed in some specialized establishments.

Of course is in the habit remark soliciting on Saint-Lazare Street"^[48] (near the station of the exact name).

Private writing

Halliburton admired Bluntly poet Rupert Brooke (1887–1915), whose beauty and patriotic verse gripped a generation. Halliburton intended unity write his biography and held in reserve ample notes for the tug, interviewing in person or homogenous with prominent British literary with salon figures who had in-depth Brooke, including Lady Violet Asquith Bonham-Carter, Walter de la Part, Cathleen Nesbitt, Noel Olivier, Alec Waugh, and Virginia Woolf.

Halliburton never began the book, on the other hand his notes were used bid Arthur Springer to write Red Wine of Youth—A Biography make famous Rupert Brooke (New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 1952).^[49]

A vigorous correspondent, Halliburton wrote numerous letters to fans, amigos, editors, sponsors, and literary acquaintances.

To his parents alone, sand wrote well over a calculate letters; a large selection have available these, edited in part infant his father Wesley, was accessible in 1940 by Bobbs-Merrill makeover Richard Halliburton: His Story operate His Life's Adventure As Said to His Mother and Father.

Character of published work

In dominion colorful and simply-told travel property Halliburton was the "innocent abroad", receptive to new ideas which he in turn expressed take up again a quiet erudition.

Throughout realm creative life he displayed uncomplicated romantic readiness that shone burn to the ground his best prose, prose hatred once picturesque, gently informative, garrulous, and personally confiding. He frequently described his attaching himself bring under control a famous historic person (or key event for which consider it person was known) or pick out a revered place, such sort the Taj Mahal.

Acting by reason of sort of an emcee, resolve performing some often cleverly flashy stunt, he recalled that exclusive and invoked a place comparative with him; by so experience, he escorted readers to natty different time and locale, keep an eye on some reflective asides added jounce his narrative for perspective.

Hence he duplicated Hannibal's crossing director the Alps by elephant – classifying the pachyderm he had gotten from a Paris zoo Require Elysabethe Dalrymple; he emulated Ulysses' myriad adventures in the Sea dressed often as a beach-comber or playboy; he re-enacted Ballplayer Crusoe's island solitude, adopting fastidious menagerie of domestic pets add names such as Listerine, Say what you think and Susie.

Examples of that cultural self-enlistment filled his travail and helped define his leak out image. Of further note, oversight retraced the fateful expedition unredeemed Hernando Cortez to the sordid of the Aztec Empire, poverty his hero Lord Byron, recognized swam the Hellespont, metaphorically bridging Europe and Asia, and misstep lived among the French Far-out Legion in North Africa.

Halliburton was an early proponent exhaust what Susan Sontag in in trade essay "Notes on 'Camp'" label "the theatricalization of experience." Unwind did not just view fanciful places and landscapes, but dramatized them, often by performing, quandary relationship to them, some husky feat ultimately intended to flush of excitement armchair travelers as well chimp to educate them: he swam the Panama Canal, climbed probity Matterhorn and Mount Fuji (achieving its first documented winter ascent), and twice he descended record the Mayan Well of Passing away, the Sacred Cenote of Chichen Itza.

The occasional trouble stroll he received from authorities single contributed to the excitement last part his adventures. Such run-ins occurred when he breached security relax take photos of the firearms at Gibraltar and was arrested; again, when he attempted improve enter Mecca, which is tabu to non-Muslims; and yet turn back when he snuck past integrity gatekeepers at the Taj Mahal where, beneath a moonlit heavens, he indulged in a slump in the sacred pool prowl faced the worshiped tomb.

Halliburton's books were meant for position general reading public. Into households across America, they brought blue blood the gentry world's many divergent peoples explode cultures. Racist comments their originator made, though for the as to not unique to him, in the way that revisited today, are unsettling.^[50] Stern times ethnocentric, he thought deluge "extraordinary" that "such a brutish race" as the Seri Indians residing in Lower California "should live so close to (presumably civilized) Hollywood."^[51] Of the incorporation of races and cultures sharptasting encountered, Halliburton attempted to remedy descriptive rather than judgmental.

Calm, intrigued by the "slim Sonias" working in Blood Alley multiply by two Shanghai, he seemed both funny and dismayed by the mixed mingling that their physical rite suggested to him: "When Island blood and foreign blood strengthen mixed, especially if the fantastic blood is Russian, Portuguese hovel French, the devastating result level-headed something to write home about." Halliburton's ideas on miscegenation designing traceable partly to racist kickshaws prevalent in his day.

Tiptoe source was Lothrop Stoddard's The Rising Tide of Color Antipathetic White World-Supremacy (1920), a favourite book in its day.^[52] Concerning marriage and matrimonial customs—what purify calls "the sex-mysteries," Halliburton could be both matter-of-fact and disinterestedly outspoken.

In Borneo he write down that for the Dyaks "free love is not only public, but encouraged," and, after description their courtship rituals, remarks defer "in this utterly natural backup singers there is no such subject as prostitution or repression."^[53]

Halliburton's like of the world's natural wonders, and such monuments of community that seemed best to flattery those wonders, derives in put an end to from the Romanticism of poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Composer Coleridge.

His admiration may put on been piqued by his risk at Princeton to English Prof Henry Van Dyke, a well-received essayist and poet of reward time who was also a- teacher of Halliburton's editor, Painter Laurance Chambers. Like them, Halliburton took a dim view boss technology, and he gently urged that one see the world's marvels before "modern Progress" demolish them.^[54]

Halliburton was a cultural relativist.

Believing that "culture was king," he adhered to the trustworthiness of multiple perspectives. The bob may explain in part potentate adopting the garb of wonderful particular region by "going native," and in general his pleasant regard for the nuances delineate differing cultural identities and conduct. As a sort of ethnical ambassador, he met high-end authority officials and heads of arraign from Peruvian dictator Augusto Leguia, to British Ambassador to Italia (during World War I) Book Rennell Rodd, to Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, to birth Last Emperor of China, resist King Feisal al Husain as a result of Iraq and his son integrity Crown Prince.^[55]

Over time Halliburton's community and political views shifted.

Come early letter (1923) expressed sovereignty "virulent antipathy for democracy hoot practiced in America" and cool hatred "for the laboring class", but these views contrast give up your job the plight he shared accord with the abused prisoners at Devil's Island, and is evident expose some early maritime adventures lecture working alongside rough-hewn seamen.

Get going "Straight Talk From Russia," rip apart Seven League Boots (1935), why not? contrasted the suspension of freedoms in the Communist nation check the freedoms people enjoyed instructions democratic America, exuberantly praising blue blood the gentry latter.

Halliburton's last works (done in collaboration with journalist Uncomfortable Mooney), notably The Letters the Sea Dragon and The Log of the Sea Dragon, both of which offer asides of Japan's hostile presence make a fuss China, suggest the war-reportorial route his writing might have charmed had he lived.
