In 1890, a man calling himself Alfred Raquez appeared in Indochina. He published highly detailed travel accounts that open a unique window onto the European presence in the Far East. And yet, through all his travels and rising fame, the man kept a secret that his closest companions would not learn of it until after his death in 1907.
