Article about Wallace's Ternate house has been rewritten
My in-depth article about the location of Wallace's legendary house on the Indonesian Island of Ternate has been extensively rewritten and my conclusions have changed based on newly discovered evidence. Please see http://wallacefund.info/content/wallaces-ternate-house The Wallace Fund hopes that the site of the house can be purchased and a replica of it built. This could house a museum about Wallace's adventures and scholarly achievements in Indonesia.
New version of "Portraits of Alfred Russel Wallace" available!
The 200th anniversary of Wallace's birth is ONLY 4 years away!
