"Across Mongolian Plains" by Roy Chapman Andrews is a naturalist's account written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Andrews and his companions on their Second Asiatic Expedition, where they embark on a journey across Mongolia and Northern China, exploring the unique fauna and landscapes of the region. This work focuses on the experience of traveling in a largely untouched natural environment and the challenges and wonders that arise during their explorations, bridging the gap between modernity and antiquity. The opening of the book sets the scene for Andrews' journey as he departs from Peking, filled with excitement and anticipation for the wild experiences that await him in Mongolia. As they traverse from Kalgan to the Mongolian plateau, Andrews reflects on the clash between the traditional nomadic lifestyle and the encroachment of modern machinery, illustrating his ambivalence towards the loss of mystique in a land once dominated by ancient traditions. The early chapters introduce us to the stark beauty of the plains, the fascinating wildlife, and the vibrant culture of the Mongols, all depicted through Andrews' vivid descriptions and interactions with the land and its people.
