I've been listening to a lecture-on-CD series entitled "The Discovery of Ancient Civilizations", and was absolutely floored that an entire lecture in the series was devoted solely to Charles Warren's experiences with Underground Jerusalem. I knew Warren had some notable experiences during his time in Palestine, but had no idea he was still considered such a major force in Biblical Archaeology. The professor praises Warren a great deal (and labels him an "eccentric" which honestly I've never pictured him as).
Interesting to get another perspective on a completely different aspect of his career.
For anyone interested, the lectures are by Brian M. Fagan (Ph.D. Cambridge University) of the University of California at Santa Barbara. More information can be found at:

(PS: Claude Conder is mentioned too, in passing...)
