Description
• In 1905, Ellsworth Huntington embarked on a pioneering journey across Chinese Turkestan, traversing from India to Siberia through largely uncharted Central Asian territories.
• This book offers a vivid narrative of that expedition, capturing the culture and lifestyle of remote civilizations unknown to the Western world at the time.
• It presents some of the earliest ethnographic observations across the Sind, Kashmir Valley, Himalayas, and the Chinese Plateau.
• Huntington provides detailed insights into material culture, mythology, social customs, rituals, and pre-history, revealing the rich heritage of the region.
• The work serves a dual purpose: documenting an extraordinary travel experience and investigating the fundamental relationship between geography and civilization.
• Initiated by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, this expedition is portrayed both as a scientific mission and a literary achievement.
