A WAYFARER IN CHINA: Impressions of a Trip Across West China and Mongolia (1913)

Lot # 5      

Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1913. Good condition, hardcover, some spotting. "the earlier part of Miss Kendall's journey brings out vividly the life of ...moresuch unfamiliar regions as French Tonking and the provinces of Yunnan and Szechuan in West China, and includes such unusual experiences as a peek into Lolo Land, a stop at Tachieniu--gateway to Tibet--and a remarkable sojourn at the monastery of Omei Shan, that ancient and mysterious mountain shrine of Buddhist China. The middle part of the journey follows the more usual highways, down the Yangtze and north to the Wall, but the route becomes adventurous again as it crosses the Gobi Desert and pushes northward through Mongolia to Siberia.".
