Gow the Head Hunter Trailer (1928)

"THE SEASON'S SENSATION PRESENTED IN PERSON BY CAPT. E.A. SALISBURY - AUTHOR AND FAMOUS EXPLORER" 24 December 1928 Factual 70 mins

Captain Edward A. Salisbury was a noted millionaire explorer and writer, whose exploration stories of the islands of the South Seas Pacific appeared often in "The National Geographic," and other magazines in the early part of the 20th-century, spent 18 months exploring the New Hebrides islands where head-hunting and cannibalism was practiced by some of the natives. The footage shot by Captain Edward A. Salisbury was put together to make this film. Captain Salisbury explained that 'gow' was the native term for the practice of head-hunting, and was not the name of one of the head-hunters.
