Description: 1933 1934 George Witten Honduran Expedition cachet Honduras, New York cancel George Walter Bond Witten earned national renown as a desperado, explorer and soldier of fortune with self-told tales spanning the late-1800s through mid-1900s that included fighting in American and foreign wars, quelling a tribal battle in Africa, robbing a bank and earning the Wild West-like nickname of the Texas Kid despite hailing from Brooklyn.Newspapers throughout the nation reported George Wittens adventures as authentic, but did so years after stories supposedly occurred and printed only what he told them. Journalists did not fact-check claims beyond photographs of Witten in military uniforms and a look at his battle scars. Real adventure when related by members of the Explorers Club makes truth pale, wrote the Selma Times Journal in 1958. Witten was then a hobo in Europe before serving with the British Army in World War I, during which he was wounded four times. He next turned to world exploration with missions that included leading an American expedition into a Honduran jungle.
