by OSBORNE, Milton
- Used
New York: Published by Liveright, 1975. 8vo. pp.xx + 249 with black & white illustrations and maps. original black cloth hardcover in pictorial dust wrapper.
Signed on the title page and contains a letter to friends in Australia. n the mid-nineteenth century, no one in the Western world knew the full course, or indeed the source, of the great Mekong River. In 1866, however, six Frenchmen set out with an expedition to seek a trade route up the Mekong into China.
Great obstacles were overcome by disease-weakened men as they traveled up the river. During two years they mapped over 4,000 miles of previously unsurveyed territory, as their journey took them from Saigon, Phnom Penh, and the tropical heat of Vietnam & Cambodia to the bitter cold of the mountains of southwestern China.
