A British army surgeon returning from years of Indian service kept this diary of a summer wandering in Kashmir. Day by day he marches through river valleys and mountain villages, notes the weather, the paths, the people and their beliefs about snakes and lizards, and writes with the earnest piety of a man grateful to have come through safely.
A short, personal record of mid-Victorian Kashmir, poignant in light of its author’s early death. Download the free EPUB.
