Publisher's Synopsis
The Hill Tracts of Arakan is a historical book published in 1881 by W. Gwynne Hughes. The book is a comprehensive account of the Arakan region in modern-day Myanmar, which is known for its hilly terrain and diverse ethnic groups. Hughes provides a detailed description of the geography, flora, fauna, and people of the region, along with their customs, traditions, and beliefs. He also covers the history of the region, including the arrival of the British and their impact on the local population. The book is based on Hughes' personal experiences and observations during his travels in the region, and it offers a unique perspective on a little-known part of Southeast Asia. The Hill Tracts of Arakan is an important resource for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the culture and history of Myanmar.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
