Daniel James Negley Farson (1927 - 1997) was a British writer and broadcaster, strongly identified with the early days of commercial television in the UK. He was the son of US war correspondent Negley Farson, the renowned fisherman, author and adventurer. Daniel Farson had a lifelong yearning to complete his father's 1929 attempt to cross the Klukhor Pass in the Caucasus on horseback. At the age of 64, 'abominably unhealthy', he determined to try. He envisaged a restful though jolly cuise down the Volga and an idyllic journey across the great mountain range. How wrong he was. L. Fine/Very Good.
