About This Book

A compact travel account and regional survey that blends natural history, practical travel notes, and ethnographic sketches of Assam and its hill peoples. The narrator describes journeys by river and forest, local climate and agriculture, abundant wildlife and hunting methods, and the material culture, customs, and social practices of numerous tribal communities. Separate chapters record topography, village life, cultivation and revenue systems, slavery and opium, and encounters with frontier authorities, while appended sketches profile individual tribes, their dress, rites, and modes of warfare. Occasional illustrations and maps accompany the observational narrative.
