Synopsis

On the Tiger Trail: Memoirs of marching, packing and hunting in mid‑19th‑century India offers a vivid glimpse into a world of long marches, loaded camels, and frontier hunting.

This memoir tracks rigorous travel across India’s plains and forests, revealing the challenges, routines, and small moments of suspense that defined life on a colonial expedition.

From the packing of gear to the rhythm of a long march, the narrative centers on practical detail, personal observation, and the unexpected dangers that arise in the jungle. Readers will glimpse camp life, the logistics of moving a caravan, and the sharp edge of waiting for a shot in a crowded, heat-scorched landscape.

• A taste of 19th‑century travel and military life in India
• The rhythm of marches, camps, and vehicleless transport
• Close encounters with wildlife and the discipline of field hunting
• Firsthand reflections on preparation, endurance, and the daily grind

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical memoirs, frontier adventure, and true accounts of life on the tiger trail in colonial India.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from India and Tiger-Hunting

Some have o'bjected that there is a too frequent repetition of the first personal pronoun.

Now, not only do I agree in this judgment, but the Objection weighed heavily on my mind long before I Wrote the first line.

And yet even now I am unable to see how this disagreeable form can be avoided by one who is writing his own personal experiences, and vouching for the truth of the same.
