- About Larry Orcutt
- I am not my favorite subject, but because so many people inquire as to my "credentials," it might be a good idea to save time by including this information here. I was born in 1952 in San Diego, California. My interest in archaeology was first piqued when a grade-school teacher read to my class several chapters from the book Lost Trails, Lost Cities, Colonel P.H. Fawcett's account of his expeditions (1906 to 1913) into the Amazon basin in search of an ancient lost city. The story contains all the elements a boy needs for an exciting read: high adventure, exotic locations, and abounding danger at every turn as Fawcett journeys deeper into the unknown. I was to check out the book many times until at length it disappeared from the library shelves. I had always been a fervid reader and my passion for the printed word and for writing grew as the years passed. That's Fawcett to the right, and he's remained something of a hero to me, although I now realize he was no archaeologist in the formal sense. (I was able to find a used copy of Fawcett's book, but it is again in print under the title Exploration Fawcett.)
