Download from RapidGatorAlexander Burns (1805 - 1841) recounts in his personal memoir his time journeying to and living in Cabool from 1836-38. Burnes took part in the Great Game, a rivalry between the British Empire and Russia for supremacy in Central Asia which began with the Russo-Persian Treaty of 1813 and lasted until the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907. He left Bombay in 1836 and traveled in and around Afghanistan until 1838. His narrative gave Britain its first in depth study of this area. British curiosity about exotic lands made his book immensely popular.
Contains personal recollections of a country from 1836-1838; talks about politics. This is a reprint of the 1842 classic.
A fascinating and historical journal of the author's travels from his departure from Bombay in 1836 to his journies in and around Afghanastan. Kabul (Afghanistan, 1837).
First published January 1, 1842
