L. Austine Waddell
Laurence Austine Waddell (1854–1938) spent twenty-five years as a medical officer in the colonial Indian Medical Service. This 1899 publication presents his colourful account of jungles, snakes, glaciers, yaks, dizzying mountain ridges, rickety bamboo bridges, tribal peoples and unfamiliar food. Illustrated throughout, it anticipates the trekking industry of today.
