ACROSS ASIA’S SNOWS AND DESERTS by William J. Morden. Hardcover, 1927, GP Putnam’s Sons (New York NY). 413 pages. Details traveling through central Asia at the beginning of the 20th century visiting such places as Kashmir, Mintaka Pass, Hunza, and other relatively obscure places (one chapter details Soviet soldiers at Kizil Rabat Post).

Government issued handbook covering history, political background, and cultural information on Mongolia current as of publishing date (still very much a communist area). Please note that while binding is generally nice & tight, there is a split - see last photo.
