Topsfield, MA: Salem House Publishers, 1987. 1st US Ed. Hardbound. 4to. 40 Pgs.. Fine in Good- DJ/Good. Footsteps: Nine Archaeological Journeys of Romance and Discovery by Bruce Norman. Published by Salem House Publishers, Topsfield, MA, 1987. 1st US Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: Fine in Good- DJ. 278 Pgs. ISBN 0881623245. This book retraces the perilous expeditions of nine archeology explorers of the nineteenth century. Among them are Giovanni Bezoni, a former circus strongman who hacked, fought and blasted his way into the tombs of ancient Egypt; Jean-Louis Burckhardt, who disguised himself as an Arab and became the first outsider for a thousand years to set eyes upon Petra, the ''rose red city half as old as time;'' and Karl Mauch, who managed to reach and record the mysterious ruins of Great Zimbabwe. Also included are the discoverers of great cities built by the Maya and the Inca, buried deep in the jungles of Central and South America; breathtaking cave temples in India; awesome Buddhist kingdoms in Thailand; and massive cliff dwellings in the deserts of North America. Illustrated in color and black and white, the stories of these remarkable adventures remain as immediate and compelling as the day they occurred. Description text copyright 2007 BooksForComfort.
