Travels in Northern Mongolia Summary
|
"Travels in Northern Mongolia" describes Don Croner’s search deep into the
heart of the Khangai Mountains of Mongolia for the source of the
Yenisei-Angara-Selenga River System, the fifth longest river system in the
world; his visits to locales connected with the life of Zanabazar
(1635–1723), founder of the Gelugpa Sect of Buddhism in Mongolia, a
world-class artist, and the first of Mongolia’s eight Bogd Gegens; and a
horseback trip to the upper Onon Valley, an area known as the Birthplace
of the Mongols, including an ascent of Burkhan Khaldun, the mountain
worshipped by Genghis Khan. About the Author: Don Croner has traveled 15,950 miles by jeep, 2430 miles by horseback, 477 miles by camel, and worn out over half a dozen pairs of boots walking an indeterminate amount of miles through twenty of Mongolia's twenty-one provinces. When he is not traveling he resides in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia. |
