This is the diary of five years spent in hot pursuit-not of honor and glory, but of excitement and riches-by one such adventurer, Michael ""Mick"" Leahy, his brothers Jim and Pat, and friends Mick Dwyer and Jim Taylor. Leahy and his associates explored the unknown interior of New Guinea, seeking gold and making contact for the first time with the aborigines of the interior mountains and valleys.EthnologyPapua New GuineaFirst contact of aboriginal peoples with WesternersPapua New GuineaPapua New GuineaDescription and travelPapua New GuineaSocial life and customsEthnologyFirst contact of aboriginal peoples with Westerners305.8305.8/009953305.8009953Leahy Michael J.1901-1979.1604000Jones Douglas E1604001MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814512703321Explorations into highland New Guinea, 1930-19353928625UNINA
