It follows an adventurous traveler from Peking through Kalgan into Inner Mongolia, blending firsthand journeys by cart, pony, and caravan with portraits of Mongol life, religion, and landscape, set against a backdrop of Chinese, Russian, and Japanese political pressures. An analytical introduction and the author’s photographs frame an ethnographic, on-the-ground account of a remote region in flux. The opening of this account pairs a succinct political survey—explaining Mongolia’s recent break with China, Russian influence, Japanese-backed maneuvers, and the rollback of autonomy—with the author’s personal departure from Peking in search of “old order” ways. She detours to the Ming tombs (including a scuffle with a bullying gatekeeper), rides the railway to Kalgan, and observes its Mongol market, camel caravans, roadside theatre, and the ruins of the Great Wall, as well as a lively Cantonese feast. When rumors of frontier fighting persist, she joins a Finnish missionary’s small caravan and crosses the Han-o-pa Pass, sleeping in Chinese inns on heated k’angs fueled by argol. The narrative highlights ox-carts and camel trains, dust storms over the prairie, and her first yourt visit with the Mongol Dobdun, where she records tea customs, snuff-bottle etiquette, and the presence of lamas. It concludes this opening stretch with her reaching a remote mission at Ta-Bol and enduring a night of gales under canvas—an emblem of the hardship and allure of the journey ahead.
