For the scientific results of the expedition, for the de tailed description of the customs, manners, etc., of the people, the larger work, entitled In the Forbidden Land (harper Brothers, publishers), by the same author, should be consulted.

Excerpt from Trans-Himalaya, Vol. 2 of 2: Discoveries and Adventures in Tibet WE had heard of a lama who had lived for the last three years in a cave in the valley above the monastery of Linga, and though I knew that I should not be allowed to see either the monk or the interior of his ghastly dwelling, I would not miss the opportunity of at least gaining some slight notion of how he was housed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Trans-Himalaya, Vol. 1 of 2: Discoveries and Adventures in Tibet IN the first place I desire to pay homage to the memory of my patron, King Oscar of Sweden, by a few words of gratitude. The late King showed as warm and intelligent an interest in my plan for a new expedition as he had on former occasions, and assisted in the fulfilment of my project with much-increased liberality. I estimated the cost of the journey at kronor (about and this sum was subscribed within a week by my old friend Emmanuel Nobel, and my patrons, Frederik Lowenadler, Oscar Ekman, Robert Dickson, William Olsson, and Henry Ruffer, banker in London. I cannot adequately express my thanks to these gentlemen. In consequence of the political difficulties I encountered in India, which forced me to make wide detours, the expenses were increased by about kronor but this sum I was able to draw from my own resources.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pioneering in Tibet I do remember, however, our arrival in Kansas, when my father, who had gone through in a wagon, came down to meet my mother and us two children. Fred was then just a baby. We lived near Pawnee, in Bourbon County, where I first started to school. After two years there we moved out to Harper County, down by Ruella, where we lived for some five years. During these years I went to school to different teachers. The first school which I attended was taught by one of the home girls, who was only about sixteen years old. She had in school five or six boys who were about ten or eleven years old and who, knowing her so well, were rather hard to control. One day she had told us we were not to go near the creek, which was near the schoolhouse, but five of us slipped off and went in swimming. Time passed very much more rapidly than we had thought during the noon hour, and the first intimation that it was over was seeing her standing on a little rise about one hundred yards from the creek and ringing the bell.

Book Description
Excerpt from Through the Heart of Tibet Among those on the platform waiting to see the train depart was George Gray, a pleasant-faced youth of about eighteen years of age. He had no friends in the train, and at the moment he felt that he had none anywhere. The engineering firm, in whose service he had been employed, had recently been forced by stress of circumstances to close their doors, and George was consequently out of employment, with little hope of finding anything to do while the prevailing bad times lasted. He had inherited from his father an intense longing for travel, but little else; that gentleman, an Officer in the Indian Service, having died while on a surveying mission on the borders of Nepal, leaving a wife and youthful son and daughter very inadequately provided or.
