Publisher's Synopsis
Sporting Trips of a Subaltern is a book written by Bertram Robert Mitford Glossop and published in 1906. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes about Glossop's experiences as a young subaltern, or junior officer, in the British Army. The stories are primarily focused on Glossop's hunting and fishing trips in India, Burma, and other parts of Asia, and are filled with descriptions of the exotic landscapes and wildlife he encountered.Throughout the book, Glossop describes his adventures in vivid detail, from stalking tigers in the jungle to fishing for mahseer in the rivers of northern India. He also provides insight into the social and cultural customs of the places he visited, offering glimpses into the lives of the people he met along the way.Despite its focus on hunting and fishing, Sporting Trips of a Subaltern is not simply a book about sport. Glossop's stories are infused with a sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors, and he writes with a keen eye for detail and a lively sense of humor. The book is a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery that drove many young British officers in the early 20th century, and is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in travel, adventure, and the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
