Book Description

Excerpt from A Summer Ramble in the Himalayas: With Sporting Adventures in the Vale of Cashmere As this volume is published without the Author's name, and as the Editor appears only under his nom de plume of "Mountaineer," the reader may fairly expect some little information regarding it. The original manuscript consisted of the Author's rough notes, and these were made over by him to the Editor, by whom they were thrown into a connected narrative form. In Chapter III. the Author speaks of falling in with "Wilson's Camp," and in Chapter VII. he refers to "a series of articles in the Indian Sporting Review, entitled "Game of the Himalayas," by Mountaineer. Mountaineer is a name familiar to all Indian sportsmen of the last twenty years, as identical with that of Mr. Wilson, of Mussoorie, our present Author's well-valued companion during much of his ramble.
