A Dry Ship To The Mountains (U) - Hardcover
"His writing maintains an outsider's objectivity, enhanced by an insider's understanding." Observer Daniel Farson had a lifelong yearning to complete his father's 1929 attempt to cross the Klukhor Pass in the Caucasus on horseback. At sixty-four, 'abominably unhealthy', he determined to try. His expedition in 1991 coincided with the coup, and he describes the journey down the Volga aboard the "Pipkin" as the coup broke all around. When he eventually reached the Caucasus, his arduous climb became increasingly fraught as the horses collapsed and the porters deserted him. However, he finally succeeded where his father had failed.
