_Illustrated, $2.25_
This book describes a journey by the author through Russian Central
Asia. Among the topics which the author touches upon are the Russian
pioneers, Mohammedanism and its characteristic expression, the colored
tribes, Russian rule, the expansion of the Russian empire and the
question of danger to India. The volume tells of much tramping, of
wayside experiences, of sights in the desert and nights under the Asian
stars or in the tents of the nomads.
“A delightful book.... Always and everywhere Stephen Graham has the
gift of transferring his knowledge of Russia to the reader’s heart and
brain.”--_Chicago Herald._
“Full of information and as charming as it is informing. It is rich
in the lure of the open road ... in the romance of old cities, in the
wildness of the vast waste spaces.... In the view it gives of a phase
of Russian life entirely new to American readers.”--_New York Times._
