Detailed Product Description
New York, 1954, 1st edition. 248 pp, ills. American edition of TIBETAN JOURNEY. DJ, Near Fine.
 
This is an amazing book written by a truly remarkable man! The author was a Scottish medical missionary who had become Tibetan in all but his broad Highland brand of personal enthusiasm. Relying both on his companionship with God and on his own strength, he undertook a life few can have known, and a journey of emergency across the wildest parts of Tibet.
 
In 1950 the Communists advanced into Tibet, and a warning had to be taken to India. The only way to achieve this was by riding through the Himalayas! The author was a superb horseman; he loved the Tibetans' horseplay and their ribaldries; his body was an engine as efficient as theirs for mobile operation in low temperatures at 20,000 feet and he could forget about baths for two months as happily as they could for their whole lives.
