William Rockhill was a American career diplomat. During a brief break in his diplomatic service he made two scientific expeditions to Mongolia and Tibet in 1888 and 1891. "His journeys, directed into eastern and southern Tibet, regions difficult to traverse but rich for geographical and ethnographical observations, produced a variety of valuable reports and works on the then secluded and little-known country" (DAB).
