About this title

Synopsis

""The Making of a Frontier"" is a travelogue written by Algernon George Arnold Durand, documenting his experiences and adventures in the Gilgit, Hunza, Nagar, Chitral, and the Eastern Hindu-Kush regions of present-day Pakistan. The book was first published in 1899 and provides a detailed account of Durand's five-year stay in the region as a British political officer. The book covers a range of topics, including the geography, history, and culture of the region, as well as Durand's interactions with the local people and his efforts to establish British influence in the area. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the region and the British colonial period in South Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
