Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels in the Central Caucasus and Bashan: Including Visits to Ararat and Tabreez and Ascents of Kazbek and Elbruz
I owe my best thanks to Mr. Edward Whymper for the skill he has shown in dealing with the rough materials placed at his disposal, a task for which his well-known knowledge of mountain scenery eminently qualified him. I have also to thank Mr. Weller for the care he has taken to make the maps accurate and intelligible.

Travels in the Central Caucasus and Bashan (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the adventures of three Englishmen, with a desire for mountaineering exploration beyond the common tourist track, on their journey through Egypt, the Holy Land, and the Caucasus. Their travels in Egypt and Palestine before Syria form introductions to the unfamiliar local culture and prepare the reader for their more dangerous and remote adventures to come in the latter half of the book. The author provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, the people they meet along the way, and the sights of Jerusalem and Damascus. The book also contains an account of their ascent of Mount Kazbek, the third-highest mountain in the Caucasus, and their exploration of the glaciers and forests of the central Caucasus. Their journey provides valuable insights into the Caucasus region, its scenery, and inhabitants, which were, until the book's 1869 publication date, largely unknown to ordinary travelers.
