Maynard Owen Williams<\/b> (September 12, 1888 \u2013 June 1963) was a National Geographic<\/a> correspondent from 1919. He was an inveterate traveller who began travelling in his teens, explored Asia<\/a> and witnessed the Russian Revolution<\/a>, among other adventures.<\/p>\n

In his own words a “camera-coolie and a roughneck”, Williams was the Geographic<\/a>‘s first foreign correspondent, and his reports include a description of the opening of the tomb<\/a> of Tutankhamen<\/a> in 1923. Maynard Williams was also an excellent photographer, and pioneered travel photography<\/a>. The Maynard Owen Williams Prize for creative nonfiction at Kalamazoo College<\/a> is named in his memory.<\/p>\n
