A British officer’s private journal, published by his brother after his death, follows him from the Punjab into Kashmir and Srinagar, through weeks of hunting in the Wardwan valley, and on into the high country toward the Karakoram, with notes on equipment, guides, game, villages and talk with the merchants of the Yarkand trade.

A plain-spoken record of Himalayan travel and hunting in the nineteenth century, for readers of old shikar literature. Download the free EPUB.
