Man-Hunting in the Desert: The Ill-Fated Palmer Sinai Expedition of 1882

This webinar will be free and open to the public. Registration through Zoom (with a valid email address) is required.
In August 1882, Prof. Edward Palmer of Cambridge University disguised himself as a Bedouin and set out into the Sinai desert carrying £3000 of gold. Prof. Palmer, his colleagues, their servants and the gold were never seen again. While the fate of this expedition—and that of Charles Warren’s celebrated rescue mission—has long captured scholarly imagination, they have recently come into sharper focus with the publication of two books: These Chivalrous Brothers: The Mysterious Disappearance of the 1882 Palmer Sinai Expedition (David Sunderland, 2016) and Captain Gill’s Walking Stick: The True Story of the Sinai Murders (Saul Kelly, 2019). This presentation considers the nature, motivations and failures of this early intelligence operation in light of this new research, including unpublished documents in the archives of the Palestine Exploration Fund in London.
