Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''Through Turkestan and the Caucasus'' is a travelogue written by Frederick Holbrook in 1916. The book is a letter addressed to his wife and chronicles his journey through the regions of Turkestan and the Caucasus in Central Asia. Holbrook was an American businessman who traveled extensively throughout the world, and this book is a vivid account of his experiences in these remote areas. The book covers his travels through the cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, and Baku, as well as his encounters with the local people and their customs. Holbrook provides a fascinating insight into the culture, history, and geography of these regions, which were largely unknown to Westerners at the time.

First and only edition, inscribed on the title page "privately printed" and "no. 129", the total print-run unknown; one copy only traced in auction records (numbered 78); none traced in British and Irish institutional libraries. Holbrook, a construction executive from a distinguished New England family (his father, also Frederick, was governor of Vermont during the American Civil War), travelled to Petrograd in 1916 to establish a branch office of the American International Corporation, "a speculative consortium of Wall Street high-rollers boasting $50 million in start-up capital. [established] to invest burgeoning war profits in opportunities in the same war" (Spence, Wall Street and the Russian Revolution: 1905-1925, online). His main work done, he set out on a 6,500-mile round trip across Central Asia, probably an extension of his original fact-finding mission. Leaving Moscow on 23 April 1916, he travelled by rail to Orenburg and thence across the Kirghiz (now Kazakh) Steppe to Tashkent, then rarely visited by foreigners, making brief excursions into the surrounding villages before continuing to Andijan, the terminus of the Trans-Caspian Railway, before doubling back to Samarkand and Bokhara with the aim of purchasing rugs. On 10 May he took the train for Krasnovodsk (now Turkmenbasi, Turkemnistan), the opposite terminus of the railway, and witnessed Ottoman troops on the march in Baku before continuing by the Georgian military road road to Vladikavkaz, Ossetia, and thence back to Petrograd. His observations show an admirable awareness of the ethnic and cultural diversity of regions visited, on the eve of their absorption into the Soviet Union, and are amply illustrated with attractive photographs of street scenes and architectural subjects, mainly in Samarkand and Bokhara, as well as Tashkent, Tbilisi, and environs.
