Adventure, Sport and Travel on the Tibetan Steppes

Category : Travel

Pages : 378
Book Description
Excerpt from Adventure, Sport and Travel on the Tibetan Steppes In offering this book to the public I must first explain its origin, and my own part in what is mainly an account of two journeys taken through China and Tibet by the late Lieutenant Brooke, F.R.G.S. Mr. Brooke started on his first journey from Shanghai on August 1, 1906, and after crossing Tibet, returned to Shanghai in October, 1907. He left Shanghai on his second journey in December, 1907, and travelled in Western Sechuan and Eastern Tibet until December 24, 1908, when he was cruelly murdered in the Independent Lolo Land. On the second of these two expeditions Lieutenant Brooke was accompanied by Mr. C.H. Meares; and when that journey came to its untimely end, Mr. Meares returned to England and wrote certain articles in the Home Press on the country through which they had travelled. These created considerable interest, and Mr. Meares was urged to make of his own and his friends experiences some more permanent record. But he had already been enlisted by Captain Scott for the Antarctic Expedition, and must leave England early in the present year for Siberia, there to purchase dogs and ponies for that enterprise; and the task which should have been his has perforce fallen to me.
