About the author
William Henry Furness
1866–1920
A Philadelphia-born physician turned ethnographer, he wrote vivid travel and anthropology books drawn from firsthand encounters in places like Borneo and the Caroline Islands. His work helped introduce many readers to Yap’s famous stone money and to cultures that were little known in the United States at the time.
