Description
Sport in British Burmah, Assam, and the Cassyah and Jyntiah hills is a detailed historical account of hunting and sporting activities in colonial India and Burma. Written by Lieut.-Colonel Pollok, this second edition provides comprehensive documentation of expeditions across diverse geographical regions including the hilly districts of the northern division.
The work serves as both a sporting guide and a historical record of 19th-century colonial life in South Asia. Pollok shares extensive knowledge about the wildlife, terrain, and hunting practices specific to Burma, Assam, and the hill regions. The text includes practical information for hunters and adventurers alongside vivid descriptions of the landscapes and communities encountered during these expeditions.
This volume represents an important primary source for understanding colonial sporting culture, wildlife management practices, and geographical exploration during the British Raj period. It remains valuable for historians, hunting enthusiasts, and those interested in colonial-era travel literature and natural history documentation.
