Arguing that his own age still had romance for those who looked, Adams condenses the narratives of great travellers: Marco Polo in Asia, George Ruxton in Mexico and the Rocky Mountains, Heinrich Barth in Central Africa, Thomas Atkinson in Siberia, Alexine Tinné in the Sudan and J. A. MacGahan campaigning on the Oxus, with maps of North Africa and Mexico.
