Travels in Northern Mongolia

Travels in Northern Mongolia describes Don Croner's search deep into the heart of the Khangai Mountains of Mongolia for the source of the Yenisei-Angara-Selenga River System, the fifth longest river system in the world; his visits to locales connected with the life of Zanabazar (1635-1723), founder of the Gelugpa Sect of Buddhism in Mongolia, a world-class artist, and the first of Mongolia's eight Bogd Gegens; and a horseback trip to the upper Onon Valley, an area known as the Birthplace of the Mongols, including an ascent of Burkhan Khaldun, the mountain worshipped by Genghis Khan.
