- Dana_and_Ginger_Lamb abstract "Dana and Virginia Lamb were American travel writers.Dana Upton Lamb was born in Tustin, California, on January 18, 1901 to JohnCharles Lamb and Emma Mary Holderman Lamb. J. C. Lamb served as the Orange CountyTax Collector for thirty-three years and also raised groves of oranges, lemons and avocados.A 1923 graduate of Santa Ana High School, Dana joined the crews of the steamer W. M. Irishand the S. S. Carenco, traveling to the Eastern United States and Morocco, Egypt, Greece,Italy, Cyprus and Syria in 1924-1925. Active in the Boy Scouts at an early age, Dana Lambserved as field executive for the Orange County Council and as assistant scout executive,Greater Providence Council, Rhode Island, from 1926-1927. He also served as chief of theLaguna Beach lifeguard service, which likely provided him with the training and expertise tobegin the Orange County Coast Patrol in the late 1930s.Virginia Marshall Bishop (later Ginger Lamb) was born in Santa Ana, CA, towatchmaker-optometrist Vernon M. Bishop and Nancy Cutler Bishop on September 22, 1912.The family moved to El Centro, California, shortly following Ginger’s birth but returned toSanta Ana sometime around 1921. She graduated from Santa Ana High School in 1930.Dana and Ginger married February 19, 1933. In August, they embarked on whatbecame a three year, 16,000 mile voyage in their homemade, sixteen-foot canoe, theVagabunda, from Southern California down the Pacific coasts of Mexico, Guatemala, andCosta Rica, and culminated in their crossing of the Panama Canal in September 1936. Theychronicled their adventures in a book, Enchanted Vagabonds (1938), and went on the lecturecircuit to capitalize on the great public interest in their journey and lives as adventurers. Theycontinued their travels in Mexico and Central America during the 1940s, during which timethey did some research for the Federal Government as special agents and produced asubstantial report titled Report on Mexico in 1943. Their second book, Quest for the Lost City(1951), detailed their continued adventures in the 1940s and was the basis for a feature lengthfilm of the same name produced by Sol Lesser and released by RKO Pictures in 1954. The Lambs visited several known Maya sites in the area, including Bonampak, Palenque and Yaxchilan during their "quest". The Lambs also spent time with the Lacandon Maya of eastern Chiapas. More controversially, the Lambs claim to have discovered their "lost city", which they named "Lashch-Tu-Nich", meaning "place of carved stones" in the Mayan language. Several of the photographs in the book depict the Lambs standing with overgrown ruins. These ruins have never been identified. A Mayan site named Laxtunich is known to have been a subsidiary site of Yaxchilan, in Chiapas, and has possibly been identified as the archaeological site at Tecolote, though it is of course unknown whether this is the site the Lambs visited. Most professional archaeologists and fellow explorers discount the Lambs' story of the Lost City and the "Golden Books of the Maya" as being largely fabricated.Having made the seaside village of Corona del Mar their home base during their yearsof adventure travel, the growing population explosion in Orange County in the postwar eraprompted the Lambs to move to the former mining town of Hillsboro, in the southwesternmountains of New Mexico, in 1962. The Lambs continued to camp and explore BajaCalifornia and deliver the occasional lecture, until Ginger Lamb died on February 25,1967. The ensuing years for Dana Lamb were not idle, as he had to deal with theramifications of a disastrous flood in Hillsboro in September 1972 and traveled to Micronesiain 1975-1976 before his death on June 11, 1979.A large collection of the Lamb's writings, artifacts, movies, photos, etc. has been amassed at The Sherman Library in Corona Del Mar, California (http://www.slgardens.org/)The canoe (Vagabunda) used in their Enchanted Vagabonds adventures is on display in the lobby of the Adventurers' Club of Los Angeles (http://www.adventurersclub.org/About.htm.)Chronology of the Lives of Dana and Ginger Lamb1901 January 18 Dana Upton Lamb born in Tustin, CA, to John CharlesLamb and Emma Holderman Lamb1912 September 22 Virginia Marshall Bishop born in Santa Ana, CA, toVernon M.
