First American Edition, from English sheets. Fascinating account of life in Tibet by the British Trade Agent from 1905-1925 at Yatung, Tibet, on the Chumbi Valley route from Sikkim into Tibet. Macdonald was not only fluent in Tibetan, his mother was Sikkimese, which helped give him an unusual understanding of the country. Macdonald's tenure was also during a struggle between Britain and China over influence in Tibet, and his account offers a participant's observations of this fluctuating contest.
