In The Forbidden Land: An Account of a Journey In Tibet 2 Vols in 1

A seasoned explorer of the Far East who had already published books on Korea and on Japan's aboriginals - the hairy Ainu - he determined in 1897 to pull aside the veil that shrouded Tibet. His plan was to reach the source of the Brahmaputra and to collect specimens of fauna and flora, but his prime purpose was to study the people of Tibet, their customs and character.
