📖 The Scoop
"From Memphis, Tennessee, Richard Halliburton (1900-1939) is best known as a pioneer of adventure journalism. His career included numerous articles and books recounting his adventures, most notably his swim of the Panama Canal and his treks through the Mediterranean and Mexico retracing Ulysses's odyssey and Cortez's Spanish conquest, respectively.
