About This Book

A travel narrative recounts two expeditions from central Burma into western Yunnan, tracing the overland route, its geography, towns, and logistical challenges. It records encounters with Shan, Kakhyen, and other hill peoples, describing customs, social organization, and episodes of tension and negotiation. Detailed stage-by-stage accounts cover places such as Bhamô, the Kakhyen hills, Ponsee, and the border city of Momien, with observations on markets, jade working, mines, climate, and local institutions. The text is supplemented by maps, photographs and sketches, vocabularies, a catalogue of regional deities, and appendices addressing historical and political context, while fuller natural-history reports are noted as forthcoming.
