George reportedly
survived a massacre at a French mission-station on
the border of Tibet. Constantly pursued, practically
starving, he wandered through the mountains for nine
days and nights before he finally reached safety.
Brent
Elliot, RHS Librarian, said; “ We are fortunate to hold this
collection of original Forrest work, without which we would know
little of his experiences. The documents, some of which are held by
the RHS in London and Wisley, offer a unique and fascinating insight
into the man and his work.”
The
RHS Lindley Library is open to the public free of charge. It
contains the finest collection of horticultural literature,
paintings and drawings in the world.
