THIS IS A USED TRAVEL BOOK IN NEAR NEW CONDITION: very clean and barely read, aging lightly; very nice. See photos for cover blurb, condition and sample pages. The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

PUBLISHER'S BLURB: In the mid-19th century, no-one in the Western world knew the full course, or indeed the source, of the great Mekong River. In 1866, however, six Frenchmen set out with an expedition to find a trade route up the Mekong into China. During two years, the men mapped over 4000 miles of previously unsurveyed territory as their journey took them from Saigon, Phnom Penh and the tropical heat of Vietnam and Cambodia to the bitter cold mountains of southwestern China.
