I graduated from the University of Michigan and went directly into the U.S. Navy as the Korean War was still on. I served two years on a Destroyer as a Gunnery Officer. Upon discharge I went into the financial management business, where I spent most of my career. I walked out of the office at age 56, never to return and flew to Paris where I got an apartment and stayed for several months. I had been to Paris several times as a tourist, but this was an entirely new experience. I wrote about half of a political novel, but discovered that politics at home was over taking me and put it aside I have always traveled starting by going over the North Atlantic on a merchant ship carrying 750 horses to Poland at age 16. Iwent across the South Atlantic and up the West Coast of Africa at 17. I have been through the Panama Canal in both directions. When I sent up my personal information I forgot one important item. I have been married to one woman(forever young) since we were children. We have four sons which includes one set of twins. While I grew up in Washington DC. I went to the University of Michigan for my college education. I wrote stories for the college newspaper and helped start a humor magazine. I graduated into the Korean War and ended up as the gunnery officer on a destroyer. With my love of the water, I live on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay.

Ibn Battuta was the traveler of his age—the fourteenth century, a time before Columbus when many believed the world to be flat. Like Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta left behind an account of his own incredible journey from Morocco to China, from the steppes of Russia to the shores of Tanzania, some seventy-five thousand miles in all. James Rumford has retold Ibn Battuta’s story in words and pictures, adding the element of ancient Arab maps—maps as colorful and as evocative as a Persian miniature, as intricate and mysterious as a tiled Moroccan wall. Into this arabesque of pictures and maps, James Rumford has woven the story not just of a traveler in a world long gone but of a man on his journey through life.
