Autor

Robert Logan Jack was a geologist born in Scotland in 1845 and a long-time resident of Australia, where he undertook extensive exploration and surveying for the governments of Queensland and Western Australia. He led an expedition to western China in 1900 and was forced by the eruption of the Boxer Rebellion to escape via Burma. The Back Blocks of China, published in 1904, is an account of that journey.
