Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey:The Life of the Explorer, is Complete

Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey, in Quetta, Pakistan, in 1951

 

Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey, Jr. died nine years ago, tomorrow.

 It has taken quite a time to complete a book on his life, called Lawrence DeWolfe Kelsey: The Life of the Explorer.

   Any time that someone is writing about historical matters and about genuine people, there is a great deal of fact checking and interviewing that must be done, prior to writing those chapters.
In this work, there were additional issues. Since I was in possession of five hundred letters from him, I had an embarrassment of  riches, in some regards. However, determining context and a timeline could be difficult also.  I anticipate that this book will finally be available for sale in the early part of November, 2017.  It should be an interesting read as it tells of the interesting and complex life of an explorer, world traveler, and all of the things he chose to do, and to be.  It will also be a heartfelt tribute to my own father.
