"Camps and Trails in China" by Roy Chapman Andrews and Yvette Borup Andrews is an adventure narrative written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the Asiatic Zoölogical Expedition conducted by the American Museum of Natural History in China between 1916 and 1917. The narrative focuses on the experiences of the authors, along with their companions, as they explore the diverse ecosystems of Yün-nan, interact with various indigenous tribes, and engage in hunting expeditions for big game, including the elusive blue tiger. The opening of the book sets the stage for the expedition, discussing the cultural and political background of early 20th-century China, including the turmoil surrounding Yuan Shi-kai's failed monarchy. It introduces the members of the expedition and the logistical challenges they face in navigating the unfamiliar landscapes and interacting with indigenous peoples. The authors detail their preparations and early travels, highlighting their arrival in Foochow and the chaotic environment surrounding them as they begin their journey toward Yün-nan, aiming for big game hunts while also documenting their findings in zoology and anthropology. The blend of adventure, personal anecdotes, and the allure of exploring the uncharted territories of China creates a captivating introduction to the broader themes of the book.
