Publisher's Synopsis
In the early twentieth century, British colonial official Sir Frederick Adairth traveled to the remote region of Ladakh, in present-day India, where he documented the traditional sports and games of the local people. In this collection of letters, Adairth describes his encounters with polo players, archers, wrestlers, and other sportsmen, providing an illuminating glimpse into the ethnography of the region. A fascinating read for fans of sports and travel literature alike.
