In 1914, the British plant-collector and explorer, Kingdon-Ward, undertook an expedition of some eight months duration along Burmas eastern frontier and across the headwaters of the Irrawaddy River. Kingdon-Wards travel was mostly on foot, through some of the most rugged and impenetrable terrain on earth; his legendary courage and endurance enabled him to prevail, despite significant impact on his health. Kingdon-Wards keen powers of observation result in an account rich in the details of this previously unknown territory, its flora, fauna and the anthropology of its tribal inhabitants. While primarily a scientific expedition, Kingdon-Wards descriptions are, at times, lyrical as he described the majestic landscape through which he travelled. First published in 1921 and previously long out of print, this work has been one of Kingdon-Wards scarcest and most sought-after titles.
