The book is a personal account of Atkinson's travels through the Tartar steppes, which spanned across Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Atkinson's journey began in 1848 when she accompanied her husband, Thomas Witlam Atkinson, on his expedition to explore the region. The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing Atkinson's experiences in different parts of the Tartar steppes. She describes the landscape, climate, and wildlife of the region, as well as the customs, traditions, and daily life of the people she encountered.
