Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sir (James) George Scott, KCIE (pseudonym Shway Yoe, 25 December 1851 - 4 April 1935) was a Scottish journalist and colonial administrator who helped establish British colonial rule in Burma, and in addition introduced soccer to Burma (now Myanmar). He remained in Burma until 1882, and during most of this period was a schoolmaster (briefly acting headmaster) at St John''s College, Rangoon. His most famous book, The Burman: his life and notions, was published at this period, under a pseudonym which mystified literary London but was no secret to people in Rangoon. In The Trouser People: a Story of Burma in the Shadow of the Empire, Andrew Marshall recounts Scott''s adventures as he cajoled and bullied his way through uncharted jungle to establish British colonial rule in the Shan States, where the administration was initially established at Fort Stedman but soon moved to Taunggyi.
