"Across Asia on a Bicycle" chronicles the remarkable journey of two American graduates who, in 1890, embarked on an ambitious adventure to circumnavigate the globe on the then-novel bicycle. Covering over 15,000 miles, they explored uncharted territories in Turkey, Persia, Turkestan, and northern China, documenting their experiences and the breathtaking landscapes they encountered. Their narrative is enriched with vivid photographs from their nearly three-year expedition, capturing moments like their ascent of Mount Ararat and an audience with the Chinese Prime Minister.
