Krohn William Krohn was a forensic surgeon in Chicago who, with a commission from the citys Museum of Natural History to collect ethnological specimens, traveled to Borneo in the 1920s, exchanging the jungle of civilization for the jungle of savage headhunters. Book In Borneo Jungles provided a fascinating account of Dyak home life, the spirit world, traits of character, sports and pastime, music, arts and crafts, marriage, feast and ceremonials--and headhunting--some sixty years ago. ...no other land and no other people, the author writes, could possibly prove more replete with interest and enriching in experience, and more satisfying in memories, than Central Borneo and its Dyak headhunters.
