Lone Prospector on Rubber Trail
Dr. J N Rose of the national herbarium, backed by Edison, conducted a solo rubber exploration in semi arid Texas and adjacent Mexican lands.

The expedition covered Mexico’s Gulf coast and areas beyond the border, largely uninhabited during an uprising.

Father Damien hailed as man who shut door on sepulcher
