Description

About The Book: "Sport in British Burmah, Assam, and the Cassyah and Jyntiah Hills" comprises two volumes chronicling hunting expeditions and wildlife observations in Southeast Asia. Volume One explores the landscapes of Tenasserim, Pegu, and Arrakan, highlighting their mineral wealth and tea potential, while contrasting the cultures of plains and hill inhabitants. Detailed accounts feature challenges in game hunting, particularly elephant encounters, alongside insights into various wildlife behaviors. Volume Two expands to Mandalay, the Coco Islands, and hilly regions, detailing earthquake effects, encounters with wildlife, and Assam's tea industry. Practical hunting advice and reflections on northern Madras conclude the narrative, offering a vivid portrayal of the excitement and obstacles of sport hunting in the area.
