Across Asia On A Bicycle is a travel memoir written by Thomas G. Allen Jr. The book chronicles the journey of two American students, Thomas G. Allen Jr. and William L. Sachtleben, as they cycle through Asia from Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) to Peking (modern-day Beijing) in the late 19th century. The book is based on the diary entries of the two cyclists and provides a vivid account of their experiences as they travel through different cultures and landscapes. The book covers their interactions with locals, their struggles with language barriers, and their encounters with various challenges such as harsh weather conditions, dangerous roads, and physical exhaustion. The book is an inspiring tale of adventure, perseverance, and cultural exchange that gives readers a glimpse into a bygone era and the spirit of exploration that drove these two young men to undertake such an ambitious journey.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
