To Lhassa at Last

by Powell Millington

About the author

Powell Millington was a British writer whose known books include To Lhassa at Last (1905) and On the Track of the Àbor (1912). The record that survives online is sparse, but library and catalog sources consistently link his name with travel and exploration writing focused on Asia.

His work appears rooted in the era when British readers were especially drawn to accounts of remote places and demanding expeditions. From the titles alone, you can see the pull of difficult routes, borderlands, and places that felt far beyond ordinary experience.

Because biographical details about his life are limited in the sources available, it is safer to remember him through his books: energetic travel narratives that capture the curiosity and adventurous spirit of their time.
