Among The Mongols (1883) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166481063)

Among the Mongols is a travelogue written by James Gilmour in 1883. The book is a fascinating account of Gilmour's journey to Mongolia, where he lived among the nomadic Mongol tribes for several years. Gilmour's purpose in visiting Mongolia was to spread the Christian faith, but his book is much more than that. It is a vivid and detailed description of the Mongol people, their customs, their way of life, and their culture. Gilmour's writing is clear and engaging, and he provides many insights into the daily life of the Mongols, including their diet, clothing, and housing. He also describes their religious beliefs and practices, as well as their attitudes towards foreigners. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Mongolia, as well as for those interested in the history of Christian missions. Overall, Among the Mongols is a fascinating and well-written account of a unique and little-known part of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
