Sources on Southern Arabia, 1838-1933

I've repeatedly mentioned that I spent the first weeks of this year re-reading Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesiger. It's a great book, and I highly recommend it. Thesiger is well known as an explorer of the Rub al Khali, in the late 1940's when Arabia represented one of the world's last great frontiers. In the course of my studies, I identified a handful of other explorers...

- Bertram Thomas, 1929-'31; wrote Arabia Felix
- St. John Philby/"Sheikh Abdullah", 1932; wrote The Empty Quarter
- Theodore and Mabel Bent in 1895 (Qarra Mountains); wrote Southern Arabia
- Sir Percy Cox 1901 (Buraimi, Nizwa, Muscat)
- Colonel Samuel Barrett Miles 1876/1885; wrote The Countries and Tribes of the Persian Gulf
- Adolph Gustav von Wrede 1843 (Hadhramaut)
- Aucher Eloy 1837 (Oman)
- James Raymond Wellsted 1835 (Oman); wrote Travels in Arabia

... Who wrote the following books, all of which are now in the public domain and available through the Internet Archive. (Philby's book is a bit unruly, so I might try to edit it into a single document at some point in the future.)

The Empty Quarter (1933) by St. John Philby, aka Sheikh Abdullah

Arabia Felix (1932) by Bertram Thomas

The Countries and Tribes of the Persian Gulf (1919) by Colonel Samuel Barrett Miles

Southern Arabia (1900) by Theodore Bent

Travels in Arabia Deserta (1888) by Charles Montagu Doughty

Reise in Hadhramaut (1873) by Adolph Gustav von Wrede

Travels in Arabia (1838) by James Raymond Wellsted

UPDATE: Apparently Philby wrote another book: The Heart of Arabia: A Record of Travel and Exploration.

UPDATE: Holy smokes! Jimmy Ray (James Raymond Wellsted) wrote a lot of books. That one I linked to isn't even the one about Oman!
