Camps and Trails in China by Roy Chapman Andrews and Yvette Borup Andrews

Camps and Trails in China is the vivid travel memoir of American explorers Roy Chapman Andrews and Yvette Borup Andrews, chronicling their 1916–1917 zoological expedition through the remote regions of China and Central Asia. Blending adventure, science, and cultural observation, this richly detailed narrative recounts their encounters with diverse landscapes, wildlife, and local communities—from the Gobi Desert to the Tibetan Plateau. Enhanced by Yvette’s pioneering field photography, the book captures the spirit of early 20th-century exploration and the scientific curiosity that defined it.
