Unknown Mongolia, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Unknown Mongolia, Vol. 1: A Record of Travel and Exploration in North-West Mongolia and DzungariaI have to thank Lord Curzon for his appreciation of my work, as shown in the Foreword, which he has written to introduce these volumes.The illustrations are, with two exceptions, all from our own photographs, the authorship of those not taken by myself being acknowledged in the list. I have to thank Mr. J. D. Cobbold for the loan of the photograph reproduced opposite page 60, and Mr. T. P. Miller for that opposite page 334. To Mr. J. G. Millais we are in debted for the original picture of the wild sheep - Om's ammon, which he was kind enough to paint in spite of the pressure entailed by his own work. The three coloured maps have been reproduced by kind permission of the Royal Geographical Society, under whose auspices they were compiled from my original surveys; they have already appeared in the Geographical Journals of June 1912 and April 1913.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
