«On Horseback Through Asia Minor» is Frederick Burnaby's travel account, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (384 pages, in English).
In the winter of 1876, Captain Frederick Burnaby rode some fifteen hundred miles on horseback from Constantinople to eastern Turkey to see for himself the Russian movements in the region, on the very eve of the war between Turkey and Russia. Accompanied by his servant Radford, the journey lasted five months through extremely harsh winter landscapes and resulted in this publishing success, with observations on the history and culture of Asia Minor.
Classic of the Great Game, with an introduction by Peter Hopkirk. The work was originally published in 1877.
Recommended for readers interested in nineteenth-century travel accounts, military history, and the British-Russian imperial rivalry in Central Asia.
