Alone With the Hairy Ainu, or 3, 800 Miles on a Pack Saddle in Yezo and a Cruise to the Kurile Islands (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Alone With the Hairy Ainu, or 3, 800 Miles on a Pack Saddle in Yezo and a Cruise to the Kurile Islands
First, that I went to Hokkaido entirely on my own account and for my own satisfaction. Next, that I accomplished the whole journey (some 4200 miles, out of which 3800 were ridden on horseback and on a rough pack-saddle) perfectly alone. By alone I mean that I had with me no friends, no servants, and no guides. My baggage consisted of next to nothing, so far as articles for my own convenience or comfort were concerned. I carried no provisions and no tent.
I am endowed with a very sensitive nature, and I pride myself in possessing the gift of adaptability to an extreme degree, and this may partly explain why and how I could live so long with and like the Ainu, whose habits and customs, as my readers will see, are somewhat different to ours.
