About The Book: Thirteen Years Among the Wild Beasts of India (1879) by George Peress Sanderson is a firsthand account of his experiences in India, where he spent years studying wildlife, particularly elephants. The book details the natural habitats and behaviors of wild animals, including tigers and bison, based on Sanderson's personal observations. He also describes his innovative methods for capturing and taming elephants, focusing on the use of kheddahsfenced enclosures designed to trap herds. Sanderson's work offers valuable insights into India's wilderness and the challenges of working with its dangerous and majestic wildlife, particularly his passion for elephants. About The Author: George Peress Sanderson (18481892) was a British naturalist and elephant expert who worked in the public works department of Mysore, India.
