Description

During the early decades of this century a handful of intrepid foreign explorers raced to plunder treasures from the lost cities of the Silk Road, the great highway that once linked China and Rome. Among the more successful of the adventurers was the German archaeologist Albert von Le Coq, and this is his account of the prizes, pitfalls, and perils that he encountered on his journey.
