This is a rare book about a hunting expedition through Chinese territory during the turn of the 19th century, in search of wapiti, sheep, ibex and roe deer. Being intended to serve as a source of information for other sportsmen, Percy Church gives great descriptions on game, sporting, territory and culture. Among his battery for hunting in those mountain regions he takes with him a double .303 British and a .450 Nitro Express double rifle.
