Excerpt from Adventures in Tibet, 1901: Including the Diary of Miss. Annie R. Taylor's Remarkable Journey From Tau-Chau to Ta-Chien-Lu Through the Heart of the Forbidden Land
This gave me the opportunity of crossing the J elep La into Tibet and visiting Miss Taylor at her shop in Yatung. The moment this trip was under taken, I wanted to know a hundred things of which I was ignorant about the country and the missions besetting its borders. The subject grew with in quiry, and I felt keenly the need of a bright, readable book1 which should give a picture of the land as a Whole, and photograph the present position of the investing forces.
