Ancient mountain passes and the rooftop of the world, described as it stood in 1960.
Written by Patricia and Robert C. Kingsbury, this booklet is part of the American Geographical Society's Around the World series. Founded in 1851, the Society is the oldest nationwide geographical organization in the U.S., and its travel booklets were built to bring far-off places into American homes — useful then for policymakers and explorers, fascinating now as a window into how a country looked over sixty years ago.
A meaningful gift for a teacher, world historian, or travel book collector building out the full Around the World series.
