I was thrilled to be able to find and read this book. The kindle edition suffers from many conversion errors. Not just a few, but MANY, but it was worth the read. Robertson, a doctor and player in the great game, was the right man of his time to be sent by the British Raj into the land of the infidels. He was a typical gentleman Englishman, eager to see and discover new places, and boy, did he ever when he was able to penetrate the then mysterious land of the Kafirs. The Kafirs lived in a mountainous gorge ridden area in which clan and tribe were the dominant form of government and poly-theism was its form of religion. Robertson, with Western bias, was able to paint with broad brush strokes, most likely the one and only western view of this culture before it was destroyed a couple years later in the late 1890's by the iron emir of Afghanistan in the name of the religion of the prophet of Arabia, as usual at the point of a sword. Robertson's ethnological observations are tedious at times but well worth the time and effort to read them. The book is also illustrated.Product details
