Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The following Memoir contains the purely geographical part of The report submitted to the Indian Government after the author's return from the Tibetan Boundary Commission, which was deputed to Ladak by the Governor-General (Lord Hardinge) in 1847. The diplomatic object of this commission was to define officially the territorial boundary between the trans-Himalayan possessions of our new ally and dependent Maharaja Gulab Singh, and the Tibetan provinces subject to China; but the Chinese-Tibetan authorities declining, as usual, to hold any intercourse with the British, or to admit us within their territory. This book is the geographical part of the report prepared by the author. Its object was to demarcate the extent of the boundaries of Ladakh (which was under the king of Kashmir) and China. The book describes the river systems, geographical sub divisions, mountains, valleys, alluvial plains, rivers, lakes and glaciers etc. This book is a reprint of the 1854 edition. About the Author :-Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Henry Strachey (18161912) was a British officer of the Bengal Army. Despite a longstanding prohibition by the Tibetan authorities on the entry of Europeans into Tibet, Strachey surveyed parts of western Tibet during the late 1840s. In 1847 Strachey was appointed to a boundary commission of Jammu and Kashmir led by Alexander Cunningham. The third member was Thomas Thomson. The commission was set up to fix the boundary between Tibet and Ladakh. Raja Gulab Singh's forces had previously annexed Ladakh and invaded Tibet in 1841. The British deemed it important to formalise the boundary so as to prevent any future conflicts. However, the Tibetan authorities did not participate. Neither was the commission given permission to enter Tibet. The Commission based itself at Leh, Ladakh. It eventually drafted a description of the boundary and retired. In 1848 Strachey was the first European to find the Siachen Glacier, and ascended it for 2 miles. The Title 'Physical Geography Of Western Tibet written/authored/edited by H.
