About The Book

Being a narrative of a year's expedition on horseback and on foot through Kashmir, Western Tibet, Chinese Tartary and Russian Central Asia. He started from Rawalpindi in April 1892, reached Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan in December 1892, and continued west through Ferghana and Transcaspia, reaching Samarkand in January 1893. He had ridden and walked 2500 miles, traversing forty-one mountain passes and sixty-nine rivers. Dunmore explains in his introduction that he has "studiously avoided@ giving any opinions on the political aspect of affairs, in that much vexed district." But Middleton and Thomas have suggested in their guide to the region, Tajikistan and the High Pamirs, that he was engaged in some form of diplomatic negotiation with the local emirs, or was reconnoitring territory that had been crossed and re-crossed by Younghusband and Grombchevsky just a couple of years before .

About the Author

Charles Adolphus Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore VD (24 March 1841 @ 27 August 1907), styled Viscount Fincastle from birth until 1845, was a Scottish peer and Conservative politician. In 1874, he was appointed a Lord-in-Waiting in Disraeli's government, a post he held until 1880. In 1875, he was made Lord Lieutenant of Stirlingshire, which he remained until 1885. In 1882 he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st Inverness-shire Rifle Volunteers (later the 1st Volunteer Battalion, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders). He retired in 1896. In 1892@93 he traveled through the eastern Pamirs to Kashgar. He was apparently engaged in some form of diplomacy or espionage, but the matter is not clear.
