This article by J. Mortimer Sheppard appeared in a 1956 issue of the Globetrotter magazine. An author of multiple books, Shepard spent three years traveling around the globe on behalf of Willys as a correspondent in the mid 1950s. On one occasion, described herein, he pulled a land yacht behind a jeep to the Sahara desert so he could sail across parts of Africa, accompanied by his wife and children.
Shepard went on to write an article for Wide World Magazine titled First to Sail the Sahara. An 1800 mile journey with his wife and family in a sand yacht over the Desert in 1956 (it's also been republished as a book, but this may be a modern item). The second, Sahara Adventure, is an actual book and probably a more complete account of the trip. I've just bought it, so I'll report on it once I read it.
