Great Adventure!
This is a captivating account of my adventures hiking and trekking in India and Nepal in 1979. Imagine trekking to Mt. Everest Basecamp and seeing tigers and rhinos later that week! I discovered astonishing art and architecture along the way. But I also encountered dangers including a major revolution in Iran and near death in quicksand on a Hawaiian mountain. Includes 112 color photos and five maps. Available as an ebook and paperback on Amazon. |

"James L. Breese (1885-1959) was the flight engineer on the first airplane to make it across the Atlantic, in 1919. Ten years later, Breese moved to Santa Fe, where, according to a biography written by his grandson, 'he built an oil burner business with a portfolio of over 130 patents.'... Kilham has a charming narrative voice, but he lets Breese tell the story of the trans-Atlantic flight through diary entries from those fateful days, as well as letters from other family members, to supplement parts of his grandfather's story."
