Across Asia on a Bicycle The Journey of Two American Students from Constantinople to Peking

Two Washington University graduates sail to Liverpool and begin a 15,000 mile bicycle journey to Peking and experience "a practical finish to a theoretical education" in liberal arts. The account begins in Asia Minor as the students cycle on through Persia and Turkestan, with detours to Merv, Bokhara, and Samarkand. They pedal across the vast tract of the Gobi Desert to Peking, where they were received by Li-Hung-Chang, the Prime Minister of China.Gaskell, Allen Thomas is the author of 'Across Asia on a Bicycle The Journey of Two American Students from Constantinople to Peking' with ISBN 9781589762534 and ISBN 1589762533.
