The story revolves around Captain Robert Gray, a seasoned explorer and army officer, who is tasked by the American Exploration Society to find a lost tribe known as the Wusun in the heart of Asia. The quest promises not only the thrill of adventure but the potential to uncover significant historical truths about ancient civilizations. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for a gripping expedition as Captain Gray is introduced, reflecting on his background and the unique challenges of his mission. He learns from Dr. Cornelius Van Schaick, the head of the Exploration Society, that the Wusun are believed to be a remnant of a white race residing in an unexplored region of Central Asia. As preparations for the journey commence, Gray expresses skepticism about the existence of such a tribe, yet the promise of financial reward and the lure of adventure compel him to accept the dangerous task. The dialogue builds intrigue as it hints at the political ramifications of their discovery, raising questions about the intersection of history, race, and the unknown cultures hidden in the deserts of Gobi.
