In late-April, 1953, Wallace Landry began organizing an expedition to New Guinea. His goal was to find uncontacted peoples. With nothing but the best of intentions and an adventurous spirit, the Landry party set off in May. Their outlook was positive.

Here, for the first time, is the complete and unabridged transcription of Landry
