The Journey Of Augustus Raymond Margary

The Journey Of Augustus Raymond Margary: From Shanghae To Bhamo, And Back To Manwyne is a travelogue written by Augustus Raymond Margary in 1876. Margary was a British diplomat and explorer who travelled extensively in China and Southeast Asia during the 19th century. In this book, he describes his journey from Shanghae (modern-day Shanghai) to Bhamo (in present-day Myanmar) and back to Manwyne (also in Myanmar). Margary's journey was significant because it was one of the first attempts by a Westerner to explore the remote regions of Southeast Asia. He encountered many challenges on his journey, including difficult terrain, hostile tribes, and disease. He also had to navigate complex political and cultural landscapes, as he interacted with local leaders and officials. The book provides a detailed account of Margary's travels, including descriptions of the people, places, and cultures he encountered. He also includes observations on the natural environment, such as the flora and fauna of the region. The book is written in a straightforward, factual style, and provides a valuable historical record of a time when much of Southeast Asia was still largely unexplored by Westerners. Overall, The Journey Of Augustus Raymond Margary: From Shanghae To Bhamo, And Back To Manwyne is an important work of travel literature that offers readers a glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and discovery. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Southeast Asia or the adventures of intrepid explorers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
