Travels and Adventures in the Province of Assam, During a Residence of Fourteen Years (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Travels and Adventures in the Province of Assam, During a Residence of Fourteen Years

The present volume, which is a continuation of the authors former work "A Sketchy of Assamy," is intended to describe the habits, customs and manners of the remaining wild tribes of the hills, viz., Angahmee Nagahs, Kookies, Meekirs, and Rengma Nagahs, with whom a lengthened residence rendered him intimately acquainted.

The adventures and travels will also illustrate the life of an officer in the civil employ in Assam. The work concludes with a statistical account of the amount and mode of realizing the revenue, and the physical and moral condition of the people of the district of Now-Gong. As the Indian Government has been pleased to allow the author to derive his information from official correspondence, its authenticity may be relied on, and he entertains a hope that his labours will not be deemed uninteresting or valueless.
