"Across Asia on a Bicycle" chronicles the remarkable journey of two American college graduates who, in 1890, embarked on an unprecedented adventure around the world on bicycles. Covering over 15,000 miles through Turkey, Persia, Turkestan, and northern China, they documented their experiences in a time when few outsiders ventured into these regions. Their account includes thrilling encounters, such as climbing Mount Ararat and meeting the Chinese Prime Minister, alongside a stunning collection of photographs from their nearly three-year expedition. This enduring tale of exploration and resilience resonates today, reminding us of the spirit of adventure and the connections forged through travel in a rapidly changing world.
