The Art of Travel; Or, Shifts and Contrivances Available in Wild Countries by Sir Francis Galton

First published in the year 1855, the present book ‘The Art of Travel; Or, Shifts and Contrivances Available in Wild Countries’ by Sir Francis Galton was conceived during a voyage to southwestern Africa. Quaint, practical, and VERY politically incorrect, this wonderful time capsule reveals how Tibetans keep warm, how the Chinese stop asses braying, how to build a snow house, and a multitude of tried, tested, and now forgotten tips.
