Based on the journals of Colonel Burton, this work chronicles more than fifty years of big-game hunting during the British Raj in India. Beyond accounts of tiger hunts, the diaries provide valuable insight into colonial society, military service, transportation, conservation attitudes, and daily life across the Indian subcontinent. Richly illustrated with period photographs and maps, it is an important source for students of colonial history and sporting literature. Increasingly sought after by collectors of hunting and Raj-era books.
