Cuming (John Cuming) Walters, Cuming 11031167 The Lost Land of King Arthur Produced by Chris Curnow, Elisa and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Lost Land of King Arthur" by John Cuming Walters is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the legendary geography of King Arthur and his realm, focusing particularly on the historical and mythical sites associated with him in the West Country of England, namely areas like Cameliard and Lyonnesse. The narrative seeks to bridge the sparse historical facts surrounding King Arthur with the rich tapestry of myths and legends that have glorified him over the centuries. The opening of the book sets the stage by acknowledging the complex relationship between historical accounts and the fables that have grown around them. Walters portrays King Arthur as a monumental figure whose legacy lives on through various localities and traditions associated with his exploits, while also noting the challenges in separating fact from fiction. The author references early chroniclers such as Gildas and Nennius, asserting that Arthur's story, while lacking in concrete historical evidence, is nonetheless significant and compelling. He outlines that Arthur's realm was marked by many places in Britain that continue to evoke memories of his heroic narratives, indicating that the journey through this lost land is both an exploration of the physical landscape and a tribute to the cultural and legendary essence of King Arthur.
