''Camps and Trails in China'' is a book written by Roy Chapman Andrews, an American explorer, adventurer, and naturalist. The book is a narrative of his travels and experiences in China during the early 20th century. Andrews explores the remote regions of China, encountering new species of animals and plants, and interacting with different cultures and people.The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing a different expedition Andrews undertook. He takes the reader on a journey through the rugged terrain of western China, the deserts of Inner Mongolia, and the forests of Yunnan. Andrews also describes his encounters with the various ethnic groups he meets along the way, including the Mongols, Tibetans, and Miao.Throughout the book, Andrews shares his passion for natural history and his observations of the flora and fauna of China. He describes his encounters with rare animals such as the giant panda, snow leopard, and Tibetan antelope, and provides insights into their behavior and habitats.''Camps and Trails in China'' is not only a travelogue but also a memoir of Andrews’ personal experiences in China. He recounts his struggles with illness, the challenges of navigating unfamiliar terrain, and the thrill of discovery. The book is a fascinating account of a bygone era of exploration and adventure in a little-known part of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
