An oddity ... ?
If you like "period" true adventure and experiences, can I offer
"ALONE WITH THE HAIRY AINU.
OR,
3,800 MILES ON A PACK SADDLE
IN YEZO AND A CRUISE TO THE
KURILE ISLANDS" [yes, true title!]
By A.H.Savage Landor, maps and illustrations by the author.
Dated 1893 it is basically a memoir of the authors travels in Japan at the end of the 19th C. and full of fascinating details, as you may imagine.
It's free from Gutenberg.
