Across Asia On A Bicycle is a travelogue written by Thomas G. Allen Jr. chronicling the journey of two American students from Constantinople (now Istanbul) to Peking (now Beijing) on bicycles. The book is a detailed account of their adventure, which took place in 1890, and covers a distance of over 10,000 miles across Asia. The journey was undertaken at a time when the region was largely unexplored by Westerners and the book provides a unique insight into the cultures, customs, and landscapes of the countries they passed through, including Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, India, and China. The book is a fascinating account of a journey that was both physically demanding and mentally challenging, and provides a glimpse into a world that has long since disappeared. It is a must-read for anyone interested in travel, adventure, or the history of Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
