The explorer Harry de Windt set out from Tiflis in the Caucasus with his servant Gerôme to ride overland to India. He crosses the Caspian to Resht, rides by way of Teheran, Ispahan and Shiraz to Bushire on the Gulf, and then takes the hard road through Baluchistan, enduring fever, bad roads and dubious remedies along the way.
A brisk Victorian adventure in travel writing for anyone who loves the old overland routes to the East. Download the free EPUB.
