Artist Biography:Charles W. Furlong (1874-1967) Massachusetts.American explorer, writer, artist and photographer. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1874. He graduated from Massachusetts Normal Art School in 1895. From 1901-1902 he was a student at Cornell, Harvard, Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. [1] He was the head of the Art Department at Cornell from 1896-1904.He was in North Africa, 1904-1905; Tierra del Fuego, 1907-1908; and Venezuela, 1910. In 1915 he was a member of an expedition to the West African islands for the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology (the Kitty A expedition).He was the first American to explore the Tripolitan Sahara. This experience led to his writing of The Gateway to the Sahara in 1909. Harperâ€™s magazine funded him on a trip to South America around 1909. His article â€aeThe Southernmost people of the worldâ€ came out of this trip. Even after the article was written he continued to travel and explore in South America.His world travels led to a decline in his overall health, in order to get better he traveled to the American West as Theodore Roosevelt had done for his health earlier.In 1914 he became a member of the U.S. Army until the end of World War I in 1918. After the war he was a Member of the American Peace delegation in Paris, France for a year. Then in 1919 he was appointed as the Special Military aide to President Woodrow Wilson for a brief time before he was reappointed as a Military observer, intelligence officer in the Balkans, Near East and Middle East. His association with the U.S. military was not a brief affair. He served as a Reserve officer for 34 years, attaining the rank of colonel. His knowledge of the Middle East was valuable during World War II.In 1925 he helped establish a voting system in Tacona, Africa, personally designing ballots and setting up polling places in remote areas. [2] While traveling the world he continued to write and create a variety of types and kinds of art, along with his work as a diplomat and military delegate.He died in 1967, leaving behind two children.

History: The Yaghan, also called YagÃ¡n, Yahgan, YÃ¡mana, Yamana, or Tequenica, are one of the indigenous peoples of the Southern Cone, who are regarded as the southernmost peoples in the world. Their traditional territory includes the islands south of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, extending their presence into Cape Horn. They have been there for more than 10,000 years.In the 19th century, they were known as Fuegians by the English-speaking world, but the term is now avoided as it can refer to any of the several indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego. (For instance, the Selk'nam inhabited the northeastern part of Tierra del Fuego.) Some are reputed to still speak the Yaghan language (also known as YÃ¡mana), which is considered to be a language isolate; however, most speak Spanish.[1] As of 2012, Cristina CalderÃ³n, who lives in Chile territory, is known as the last full-blooded Yahgan and last native speaker of the Yahgan language.The Yaghan were traditionally nomads, who were hunter-gatherers. They traveled by canoes between islands to collect food: the men hunted sea lions, while the women dove to collect shellfish
