The great adventurer and travel writer, Richard Halliburton (1900-39), was born in Memphis, TN on January 9, 1900. We particularly recommend his book, The Glorious Adventure (1927), in which he recreated the travels of Ulysses. I read it twenty years ago and still recall how exciting it was when he swam the Hellespont. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 9, 2003 9:27 AM
