Dr. Roy Franklin Barton was a self-trained ethnologist and was, in his day, well known and highly regarded. In the years before the Second World War, he studied the cultures of the Philippines, in particular the Ifugao headhunters of the Central Cordillera Mountains of northern Luzon island. He published extensively on his findings, to include his seminal book “The Half-Way Sun: Life Among the Headhunters of the Philippines” (New York: Brewer and Warren, 1930). Some of his other pioneering anthropological works were “The Mythology of the Ifugaos,” “Ifugao Law,” and “Ifugao Economics.” Thank you contributor #49165904 C. Turner
