Publisher's Synopsis
""Through Turkestan and the Caucasus"" is a travelogue written by Frederick Holbrook in 1916. The book is a letter addressed to his wife and chronicles his journey through the regions of Turkestan and the Caucasus in Central Asia. Holbrook was an American businessman who traveled extensively throughout the world, and this book is a vivid account of his experiences in these remote areas. The book covers his travels through the cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, and Baku, as well as his encounters with the local people and their customs. Holbrook provides a fascinating insight into the culture, history, and geography of these regions, which were largely unknown to Westerners at the time. The book is an engaging read for anyone interested in travel writing, Central Asian history, or simply curious about the world beyond their own borders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
