New York: Travel Book Club, 1952. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. [xv], 240pp, endpaper map, 8 b/w photographic plates. 8vo/22cm. Brown decorated cloth gilt, old barely visible dampstain head of some later pages, otherwise clean, tight and very good. Split and chipped dj laid in. A rare insider's view of life on the Tibetan borderlands between 1930-1935 and 1939-1941 by someone who combined the eye of an anthropologist with the background of a missionary who spoke both Tibetan and Chinese. Robert B. Ekvall (1898-1983) born of missionary parents on the Tibet-Chinese border originally served as a missionary with the Christian and Missionary Alliance in northeastern Tibet. Interned by the Japanese in 1941, he later served with the US Army and after WW II became a professor of anthropology at the University of Chicago. He wrote books, articles and poems about Tibet and China including one novel, Tents Against the Sky. Pinfold 90; Yakushi E27..
