signed drawing of Carveth Wells

Carveth Wells, an explorer and world traveler
as well as an author and radio commentator.

One of the most famous lecturers on the "expedition circuit,"
his fame being eclipsed perhaps by only Richard Halliburton
and Lowell Thomas. Wells was also a prolific writer, and in fact wrote a book
about the filming of this Cudahay-Massee expedition to the Ruwenzori.
