In 1900, Adams went on her first major expedition, a three-year trip around South America with her husband, during which they visited every country, and traversed the Andes on horseback. The New York Times wrote that she "reached twenty frontiers previously unknown to white women."{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} In a later trip she retraced the trail of Christopher Columbus's early discoveries in the Americas, and crossed Haiti on horseback.[2] War correspondentAdams served as a correspondent for Harper's Magazine in Europe during World War I. She was the only female journalist permitted to visit the trenches.[2] Later{{when|date=April 2013}} she and her husband visited eastern Bolivia during a second extended trip to South America in 1935, she wrote twenty-one articles for the National Geographic Society that featured her photographs, including "Some Wonderful Sights in the Andean Highlands" (September 1908), "Kaleidoscopic La Paz: City of the Clouds" (February 1909) and "River-Encircled Paraguay" (April 1933). She wrote on Trinidad, Surinam, Bolivia, Peru and the trans-Andean railroad between Buenos Aires and Valparaiso. In 1925, Adams helped launch the Society of Woman Geographers. In all, Adams is said to have travelled more than a hundred thousand miles, and captivated hundreds of audiences. The New York Times wrote "Harriet Chalmers Adams is America's greatest woman explorer. As a lecturer no one, man or woman, has a more magnetic hold over an audience than she."{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} She died in Nice, France, on July 17, 1937, at age 61. An obituary in the Washington Post called her a "confidant of savage head hunters"{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} who never stopped wandering the remote corners of the world. She is interred at the Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, California.[3] Of women as adventurers, she wrote {{quote|I've wondered why men have so absolutely monopolized the field of exploration. Why did women never go to the Arctic, try for one pole or the other, or invade Africa, Thibet, or unknown wildernesses? I’ve never found my sex a hinderment; never faced a difficulty which a woman, as well as a man, could not surmount; never felt a fear of danger; never lacked courage to protect myself. I’ve been in tight places and have seen harrowing things.[4]}}Further reading{{cite book|author=Duncan, Joyce|title=Ahead of Their Time: a Biographical Dictionary of Risk-Taking Women.|year=2010|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group, Incorporated MyiLibrary [distributor|location=Portsmouth|isbn=9781280908699|url=http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1065101531 |language=English}}SourcesAnema, Durlynn.
