NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS The Diary Of A Hunter From The Punjab To The Karakorum Mountains This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autorenporträt
Augustus Henry Irby, an individual often less recognized among the plethora of nineteenth-century travelers, established a modest yet significant niche within travel literature through his sole book, 'The Diary of a Hunter from the Punjab to the Karakorum Mountains.' This work not only chronicles Irby's experiences during his big game hunting expeditions in British India but also offers a captivating glimpse into the rich biodiversity and intricate socio-cultural tapestries of the sub-continent. Irby, an ardent hunter, meticulously recorded his observations, which were hallmarked by vivid descriptions and a keen understanding of wildlife. The diary, published in 1863, stands out for its raw portrayals of the challenges faced by hunters, the rugged landscapes traversed, and the primal beauty of nature untamed. Irby's prose, while not ornate, is engaging and imbued with the authentic voice of a traveler genuinely enchanted by his surroundings. His work serves not only as a historical record of hunting practices but also as a valuable source for researchers delving into colonial-era attitudes toward exploration and the environment. Despite a relatively limited output, Irby's literary contribution is cherished for its directness and raw authenticity, qualities which endear 'The Diary of a Hunter from the Punjab to the Karakorum Mountains' to both historical and environmental scholars.
