Abstract: Unofficial wartime publication by members of the United States Navy created as a guide for sailors and servicemen stationed on or in the Ulithi Atoll. Includes brief history and cultural details as well as a short word list.
This book is based on material presented in the "Ulithi Encylopedia, the Sunday evening series talks broadcast by Armed Forces Radio Station WVTY.The great demand for copies of the radio script brought about this book as a "Command Performance". The material is herein presented very much as it was originally broadcast. The material is arranged in manner of interest rather than by topic. It is proper to say that this book has been edited by a Ulithian, Hatae, third ranking native of Fassarai (Federai), with whom- Dr. Marshall Wees went over the original proofs, correcting them and adding much to them. Por assistance in the preparation of ° Ulithi Encyclopedia" the author wishes to ex press thanks- o Dr. Wees, Passarai Medical Officer, for his voluminous notes on Ulithi folk; to Lt. (jg) Ray Erickson for permission to use his notes on Ulithi fauna and flora. Thanks also to Chaplain Korton,Dt. (jg) George Read, the mimeograph crew of the Ulithi Port Director*s Office, and to Hatae for invaluable editorial assistance.
