Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Through Turkestan and the Caucasus: A Letter From Frederick Holbrook to His Wife
We have had the most delightful journey I ever had in a train in all my life. To begin with, it is spring, and you know spring brings ?owers even in a desert, and of course there is little dust. Then the weather is perfect - bright, sunny days without a cloud in the sky, no wind, and, while it was cool in Moscow, it gradually got warmer, till here it is like late June; and to arrive at the Garden of Eden in J une! It is almost too much for my New England imagination, and alto gether too much for any such cold-blooded description as I can ever give. However, I've seen it, and no one can ever take that away, and I wish you were here to see it too.
