Description
This fascinating two-volume set by Lieut.-Colonel Pollok provides an extensive chronicle of sport and hunting expeditions across British Burma, Assam, and the Cassyah and Jyntiah hills. Written during the height of British colonial expansion, the work offers invaluable insights into the geography, wildlife, and sporting culture of these remote northeastern regions.
Pollok’s detailed accounts include descriptions of big game hunting, encounters with exotic fauna, and the practical challenges faced by sportsmen in these hilly districts. The narrative weaves together personal anecdotes, natural history observations, and geographical notes that capture the spirit of Victorian-era exploration and adventure.
This historical document serves as both a sporting memoir and a cultural record of colonial India, providing readers with a window into 19th-century life in the subcontinent. The comprehensive nature of these volumes makes them essential reading for historians, hunters, and those interested in colonial British India.
