All of this is documented in his travel book, which has been signed by numerous statesmen and celebrities, in 26 diary notebooks, and in thousands of photographs. Mate undertook all of this completely alone, without the logistics we know today. Much was written about Mate and his travels in the 1950s, and then this greatest of all globetrotters was unjustly forgotten.
