"Jack O'Neill was a brave and a sensitive man. His spirit of adventure led him into considerable danger, yet he admired and respected the dignity of the tribesment of the Central Highlands. Nor did the rigours of frontier life prevent him from responding to the rugged splendour of the New Guinea highlands. His story is a unique record of the conditions under which the prospectors lived and worked, their comradeship and their rivalries, as they penetrated deeper into an untamed land in their search for gold."
