Robert Grant Haliburton spent his last years proposing the existence of a distinctive tribal group of small stature within the Atlas Mountains and vicinity. He collected local stories and eyewitness accounts of this "dwarf people," debated critics, and published theories. These curious tales disappeared (or at least were never investigated fully) after Haliburton died, but he left an anthropological legacy that serves as a cautionary tale (or perhaps a starting point for future investigation).

Before King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, there was Charlemagne and his knights, chief of whom was Roland.

The story is well-illustrated by the notable Gustave Doré.
