India and Tiger-Hunting (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Into the wilds of India, a seasoned observer shares true adventures from the tiger-hunting frontier.

In this memoir, readers follow a mid‑19th-century traveler as he moves a native regiment across rough terrain, loads camels and carts, and faces the daily challenges of travel in a vast and varied landscape. The narrative blends practical detail with vivid scenes of jungle life, camp routine, and the unexpected moments that arise when hunting, weather, and logistics collide. It offers a grounded look at endurance, seamanship with the land, and the quiet drama of a man and his companions navigating danger and discovery.

From the bustle of packing for a long march to the tense quiet of a night watch by a pool, the book captures the texture of field life in India. Readers meet a cast of characters, encounter animals—from boars to hyenas—and witness the rhythm of a journey that tests both nerve and pragmatism.
