Vanished Kingdoms: A Woman Explorer in Tibet, China, and Mongolia 1921-1925
by Mabel H. Cabot

Janet Elliott Wulsin and her anthropologist husband Frederick Wulsin led a National Geographic Society expedition to document the vanishing cultures and tribes of Tibet and Inner Mongolia, and collect and study the flora and fauna of the region. Their caravan travelled across the southern regions of the Gobi desert on camelback, up rocky gorges by mule train, and down the Yellow River on a yak-skin raft. The Wulsin's photographs and lantern slides capture medieval walled Mongol caravans, remote villages in Kansu, elaborate Buddhist rituals, and the interiors of three of the great Tibetan monasteries- Kumbum, Labrang and Choni. Cabot's research of Janet Wulsin's letters and diaries, in conjunction with the expedition photographs and documents, offers readers an extraordinary account of adventure and discovery.
