G. Kemp is a historical travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work documents the author's journey across Manchuria, Korea, and parts of Russian Turkestan, exploring the cultural, social, and political landscapes encountered during his travels. The narrative emphasizes the author's observations and experiences in these regions, capturing the complexities of life amid significant geopolitical changes. At the start of the narrative, Kemp recounts the initial thrill of crossing into Manchuria and the stark differences in culture and environment that he observes. Traveling with a companion, he navigates through various localities by primitive means, providing rich descriptions of the settings, people, and customs. The opening details his impressions of Chinese towns, the challenges of frosty travel, and the blend of Chinese and Manchu influences on the landscape and society. Kemp shares insights into the agricultural prosperity of Manchuria, the trends of emigration, and the role of missionaries in the region, setting the stage for later explorations in Korea and beyond. The opening chapters lay a strong foundation for his thorough inquiry into the areas being documented, promising a detailed exploration of this intriguing historical context.
