I highly recommend reading about his adventures firsthand. He published all of his travel journals and they are in the public domain. You can find them on Amazon or various print-on-demand kiosks. Fascinating reads, but some portions help if you Google locations to translate the areas he is talking about with the modern names. They read half like adventure stories and half like botanical notebooks.

A few months ago I gave a presentation at a local library about the history of tea, which of course included talking about Robert Fortune's adventures. Afterward an old man approached me with a grin on his face. He handed me his driver's license -- his name was Robert Fortune. It made his day to know someone famous shared his name; he had never heard of the Robert "The Tea Thief" Fortune before.
