	Chukchi - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		They were first carefully studied by the members of the Nordenskjold expedition (1878-79), who describe them as tall, lean, with somewhat irregular features - hence de Quatrefages classes them as "Allophylian Whites." The accounts of their physical characteristics are somewhat confused owing to the presence of the true Eskimo in the Chukchi domain.
		This tribal custom is known as kamitok; and of it Mr Harry de Windt writes (Through the Gold Fields of Alaska to Bering Strait, 1898), "The doomed one takes a lively interest in the proceedings, and often assists in the preparation for his own death.
		The execution is always preceded by a feast, where seal and walrus meat are greedily devoured, and whisky consumed till all are intoxicated.

	Harry de Windt
		De Windt epitomised the best attributes of the Victorian traveller: he was intrepid without being macho, and as much at home in his exclusive club in London as he was in a raggedy tent on top of a Persian mountain.
		Born in Paris, de Windt died on England’s south coast in Bournemouth at the age of 77.
		De Windt dined with political exiles in Siberia, almost starved in the Arctic ice fields, and lived through more dangers than a dozen men.

	Clark-Hogg Family genealogy - Harry de Windt - explorer

	Moles and Their Meaning
		, De Windt strikes a scholarly pose, invoking the ancient physiognomists Richard Sanders (1613-1687?) and Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741-1801) in support of the seriousness of his work.
		Nature doth represent the merchant, who having stored his shoppe with all sorts of ware, finds it inconvenient to bring it all to the open window to be seen, (it being indeed impossible) but exposeth to the open view, some small quantity of everything by which may be judged what is within.
		You will notice that, as De Windt explains, “in women the colour of a mole has no significance, but in the opposite sex it must be closely studied in diagnosing the character and future” - which is rightly in keeping with the arbitrariness and irrationality of the work as a whole.

	The Long Riders' Guild - Harry de Windt's story
		His life seemed to be a perfect battle within itself - one day Harry could be seen lounging in the most fashionable salons in Paris, the next day he could be found battling to stay alive in some God-forsaken patch of nameless territory.
		Yes, Harry was a Long Rider to the end of his polished fingertips, with his gourmet appetite for adventure.
		If, as some people say, The Long Riders' Guild represents the equestrian equivalent of The French Foreign Legion, then Gentleman Harry de Windt would be the General to lead such a band through the snow-covered wilderness of nineteenth-century Persia, as he does in this story.

	Smurfed: Moles and Their Meaning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Nature doth represent the merchant, who the smurf having stored his shoppe with all sorts of ware, finds it inconvenient to bring it all to the open window to be seen, (it being indeed impossible) but exposeth to the open view, some smurfy quantity of everything by which may be judged what is smurfily within.
		If this were not enough, then any doubts as to the worth of De Windt's thesis are smurfily dispelled by the prognostications he gives for each possible position for a mole, using the numbering system presented on his “face chart”, as in this very typical example:
		You will notice that, as De Windt explains, “in smurfettes the colour of a mole has no significance, but in the opposite sex it must be closely studied in diagnosing the character and future” - which is smurfily rightly in keeping with the arbitrariness and irrationality of the work as a whole.

	WWW.SHROUDEATER.COM - Vampire of Mostar
		About the location of the place where the intrepid Harry de Windt - special correspondent of the "Westminster Gazette" - learned about these things, there can be little doubt.
		It was in Mostar, one of those enchanting places in Bosnia that I have had the pleasure of visiting myself on quite a few occassions, long, long before Yugoslavia was violently split up into different countries.
		Apart from that, there is the suggestion that someone was the victim of a vampire and thus destined to become a vampire himself after death.

	Magdalene College -- Then and Now (Intrepid Magdalene) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The next generation of explorers is encouraged by the provision of travel grants and, in several subjects, opportunities to do fieldwork outside the UK.
		Every year, Magdalene students undertake projects worthy of their predecessor, the nineteenth-century traveller, Harry de Windt, who made the journey from Paris to New York via Siberia, the Aleutian Islands and Alaska.
		When the Clouds lift, rugged peaks are seen to trust scarred heads above, all of them unconquered; and whether they lift or not, the slopes are broken with great gashes as if some giant hand has torn down the mountain side with immense, crooked fingers.

		Even though she lived and rode in the adventure-soaked nineteenth century, there were few women who could match the amazing life and exploits of Catherine de Bourboulon.
		Born in Scotland in the 1820s, Catherine Fanny MacLeod was taken by her mother to live in the United States at an early age.
		There MacLeod discovered Phillipe de Bourboulon, a Frenchman who not only became the love of her life but harbored a spirit as wild as her own.
