Description: Innermost Asia. Travel & sport in the Pamirs Author: Cobbold, Ralph P. Title: Innermost Asia. Travel & sport in the Pamirs Publication: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1900 Description: First American edition, 8vo, pp. xviii, 354; 29 plates, 5 maps, including one large color folding map, and 85 text illustrations; original rose cloth gilt; boards sunned, hinges cracked and gutter split in multiple places, ex-Yale Divinity Library, with their bookplate and stamps, and residue of spine markings neatly eradicated, good. A "narrative of the author's travel to Taghdumbash Pamir, Kashgar, and the Tien Shan area from Gilgit, with H.H.P. Deasy in part, in 1897-98." From the preface: "My original object in visiting the Pamir region of Central Asia was that of the sportsman, and I had no idea of either troubling myself with inquiries into the social and political conditions of the people, or of recording my travels in a book. The opportunities for observation afforded by my close intercourse with the people, the acquaintances I made among the Russian and Chinese officials, and my enforced detention at Kala-i-Wamar and Fort Charog, served to place me in an altogether exceptional position in regard to the status quo political and strategic at present existing in Innermost Asia, and as in the course of my journeys I visited a considerable stretch of country which has never before been seen by and Englishman and am ... the only European, other than Russian, who has traversed the banks of the Oxus in the regions of Roshand and Shighnan, I feel that it is my duty to publish the results of my experiences..."
