Riddles Of The Gobi Desert

About the Book:-The author has made a noble attempt to unravel the truth behind the expedition through the Gobi Desert, the home of howling storms and oppressive silences, with new conquests in the service of exploration for our goal. Enigmatic, shrouded in mist, the horizon stretched its curves around us. Dizzy distances must be conquered by the slow, sure tread of the camels. From Peking in the east to the Caspian Sea in the west, our kingdom extended for 3,000 miles and for 1,200 from Dzungaria to the Himalayas. We laid one territory after another under our scepter; we established a system of depots from which neighbouring territories were traversed. The book is the product of extensive study of Riddles of the Gobi Desert. The subject of the book is very illuminating and delicate. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. The 24 illustrations and a map require a word of explanation. The author has preserved these fine plates from oblivion, which he considers his duty as a well-wisher of the area and its people. So, the book is immensely beneficial to all.
