Across Asia on a Bicycle - Thomas Gaskell Allen William Lewis Sachtleben

"Across Asia on a Bicycle" chronicles the extraordinary journey of two American graduates who, in 1890, embarked on a groundbreaking adventure across the globe on bicycles. Covering over 15,000 miles through Turkey, Persia, Turkestan, and northern China, they documented their experiences during what was then the longest continuous land journey ever made around the world. Their narrative is filled with thrilling encounters, including climbing Mount Ararat and meeting the Chinese Prime Minister, alongside a rich collection of photographs from their travels.
