Across Asia On A Bicycle The Journey Of Two American Students From Constantinople To Peking

Between 1890 and 1893, two young American men circled the world on the then-new 'safety' bicycle. They traveled over 15,000 miles, at that time the "longest continuous land journey ever made around the world." In this book, they describe their 7,000 mile trip across central Asia through regions rarely visited by outsiders. They also describe how they were the first Americans to climb Mount Ararat in Turkey.Allen, Thomas Gaskell, Jr. is the author of 'Across Asia On A Bicycle The Journey Of Two American Students From Constantinople To Peking', published 2003 under ISBN 9781587420214 and ISBN 158742021X.
