----------
Above is Chapter XXII, BURIED ALIVE! of Expedition To Alexandrapour. Two months ago you saw Lt. Col. Lawford and the intoxicatingly lovely Romanov Countess Alexandra hopelessly entombed by a cave in below the lost ancient City of Alexandrapour.
----------
Go to the link when you have 10-15 minutes and enjoy three acts; Buried Alive, The Discovery and Four Months Later. There are numerous captioned photographs, narrative and dialogue about treachery, hopelessness, persistence and singular discoveries within an extraordinary underground world such as has never been seen before in miniature.
----------
Travel back with me now to November 14, 1900 and March 15, 1901 for the astounding end of the story in the dangerous world of Terra Incognita on the Continent of Mafrica.
----------
Respectfully,
Bill

Suggestion: Find the Sound Track for the The Mummy (1999) and listen to it as you enjoy the show. Amazing experience actually!

Thank you very very much for your kind remarks, sincere interest and for expressing your enjoyment in Expedition To Alexandrapour. I am very glad you had fun.

Please allow me to compliment all readers and respondents who contributed to spurring me on from May 2011 when ETA commenced. Indeed, there were several occasions when ideas expressed here or on the Gen. Pettygree Blog stimulated ideas or changes to improve the story.

Additionally, my regional friends loaned significant portions of their collections to enhance soldiery, characters, creatures, terrain and more. They are kindly mentioned in Closing Remarks. Without them, scenery and the story would have been greatly reduced.

The foundation – initial sparks of inspiration came from:

(1) Jack Scruby who described his Colonial Campaigns so interestingly in Table Top Talk. I wish I still had these issues but memories were there in ETA.

(2) Don Featherstone's inspiring Kohat Campaign found in his charming book, Solo Wargaming.

(3) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's, The Lost World. Highly recommended. I've read it five times from the late 1960s.


Anyone who missed out on any chapters of ETA can find them on The General Pettygree Blog. Scroll down the left side and click on any chapter back to Number I. See: generalpettygree.blogspot.com


Respectfully,
Bill
