Visits to High Tartary, Yarkand, and Kashghar, Formerly Chinese Tartary: and Return Journey over the Karakoram Pass is a travelogue written by Robert Shaw in 1871. The book chronicles Shaw's journey through Central Asia, specifically the regions of High Tartary, Yarkand, and Kashghar, which were formerly under Chinese rule. Shaw describes the people, culture, and landscapes of these regions, as well as his interactions with local rulers and officials. The book also details his return journey over the Karakoram Pass, a treacherous mountain route that connects Central Asia to India. Shaw's travelogue provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known region of the world during a time of great political and cultural change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
