Preface<br > The choice of books qualifying for the classification "epic tales"<br >in my title was difficult and, in the end, highly personal, though a<br >majority of those chosen were almost automatic; they could hardly<br >have been omitted. Advice on inclusions came from many sources,<br >both actual and armchair travelers. Scores of works were considered<br >before a final consensus was reached. Among those left out--perhaps<br >saved for a second volume--were the following:<br > Charles Doughty, Travels in Arabic Deserts<br > Julian Duguid, Green Hell<br > George Featherstonbaugh, Excursion through the Slave States<br > Harry Franck, Vagabonding down the Andes<br > Peter Freuchen, Arctic Adventure<br > Sven Hedin, Through Asia<br > William Hudson, Naturalist in La Plata<br > Samuel Johnson, Iourney to the Hebrides<br > T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars oI Wisdom<br > Anne Morrow Lindbergh, North to the Orient<br > David Livingstone, Missionary Travels<br > Alexander Mackenzie, Voyages lrom Montreal<br > Douglas Mawson, Home ol the Blizzard<br > Alan Moorehead, White Nile and Blue Nile<br > Frederick Olmsted, The Cotton Kingdom<br > Robert F. Scott, Voyage oI the Discovery<br >
