searching for the next exploit and sharing them in his writings."
Kirkus Reviews
"Cathryn Prince has written a compelling, well researched account
of an inspiring and largely overlooked life, a man who traversed
the globe and wrote about all he saw with romance and flair. A
sweet look back at a more innocent time, when the world called out
to curious young men like Richard Halliburton." Neal Thompson,
author of A Curious Man: The Strange & Brilliant Life of Robert
"Believe It or Not!" Ripley
"Between the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, the
writer-adventurer Richard Halliburton taught America to love the
world without revealing his own heart. Prince's sensitive and
unstinting portrait bottles his lightning and captures his
tragedy." Christopher Heaney, author of Cradle of Gold: The Story
of Hiram Bingham, a Real-Life Indiana Jones, and the Search for
Machu Picchu
"This is a good old-fashioned biography of an almost forgotten
celebrity." Booklist
"Journalist and author Cathryn J. Prince has done a very thorough
job researching 'Romantic Richard' Halliburton, the story of his
personal struggles, and why he chose to escape a traditional career
and lifestyle. She tells his story in compelling details and, like
its subject, it is never boring." New York Journal of Books
"Cathryn Prince's thorough research and eye for detail have made
Richard Halliburton believableand brought a fascinating,
high-flying adventurer back to earth." Chicago Review of Books
