Over 350 people were on the patrol. Most were carriers from Highlands areas already familiar to Europeans. About forty New Guinean police came from distant coastal places. Jim Taylor led the expedition, accompanied by two other Australians, John Black and Pat Walsh. "Many of the people who made the journey, and many of the Highlanders who saw white men for the first time, lived long enough to tell their story directly."--BOOK JACKET.
