Leather Bound Library of Adventure Travel Adventure Travel Series - title list below Author: various Illustrations by Description: One of the great collections published by Easton Press and long out of print. Almost never offered as a complete set and even more rare to get almost all still sealed. --- From Regal Books: Visit the golden age of adventure travel before many of these regions were invaded by modern tourism. This collection focuses heavily on Victorian era travel adventures, leading up to a few titles in near modern times (as late as I think 1973). Visit Japan with Isabella Bird at the dawn of the Meiji period just after the end of the Feudal era, little more than 20 years after Commodore Perry. Search for Snow Leopards in Napal, climb a 20,000 ft peak in Afghanistan where the Hindu Kush begin to jut into the sky on their range leading to the Himalayas. Safari across Africa with Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Sir Henry Stanley as he searches for Livingstone, or Sir Richard Burton (Thousand Nights) as he travels to the forbidden ancient capital Harar in East Africa. Take a train adventure from Europe to the far east using all the famous lines like the Oriental Express, Trans-Siberian Express, Khyber Pass Local, The Golden Arrow, and the Mandalay Express. Search the nether-mosts of the American continents exploring Alaska with John Muir, or look for descendants of Welsh immigrants, nearly forgotten legends, and Butch Cassidy’s cabin on the southern tip. I will add a few more photos of illustrations later. Circumnavigate the globe with Mark Twain!
