Seller: Gyan Books Pvt. Ltd., Delhi, India
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Language: English. About the Book :-The author reveals that various circumstances took him to Kashmir in the spring of 1891. The book is a travelogue that describes the visit of the author to Kashmir, Ladakh and to what is now Pakistan occupied Kashmir. He set off after a stay in Kashmir, to Ladakh via the Zoji la pass. His description of both Kashmir and Ladakh is exhaustive; he describes all that he saw, experienced and observed; the people, the cities and their surroundings, the topography and river drainage, the legal systems etc. From there he crosses into Baltistan via the Karakoram pass and there he describes the military importance of that area. He visits Gilgit and Astor, the Hunza valley. He gets involved in military operations to capture Nilt and Nagar. The book is the product of extensive study of these places. The subject matter of the book is interesting. It contains 54 beautiful illustrations and a map of the area which the author has preserved from oblivion. This book is a reprint of the 1905 edition. About the Author :- Edward Frederick Knight was an English barrister, soldier, journalist, and author of 20 books, many based on his dispatches as a war correspondent. He was born in England, and travelled with his family to British India at an early age. He was educated at Westminster School and Caius College, Cambridge, where he pursued legal studies. He was called to the Bar from Lincoln's Inn in 1879. However, he abandoned the legal profession to pursue a career in journalism instead, writing primarily for the Morning Post and The Times.During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, while living in France at his father's house in Honfleur he attempted to enlist with the French Army near Rouen, but was turned down as he was an alien. In 1878, he explored Albania and Montenegro, returning to the Balkans during the Russo-Turkish War.
