Publisher Description:
1862. With a portrait. John Campbell (otherwise Feringhee Bacha), narrates his adventures amongst the wild tribes of Central Asia in this simple volume. His remarkable accounts were taken down by the editor directly from his own lips. The narrative commences from the young adventurer's earliest recollections of his childhood, ere he had learned the important fact that he was not an Affghan, but of British origin, though his father's name he never heard. Contents: Found on battlefield by the Affghans; I start on my wanderings; I turn my steps towards Badukshan; I continue my journey with a friend; I wander on over the mountains of Caffristan; Kotala-koda mountain; The hotel keeper's story; The blacksmith's dinner-party; Start for Kolm; Wanderings among strange people; Battle of Cheetah; Caracol; Slave dealers' conspiracies against me; Siege of Herat; Attack from the Turkomans; The march to Meshed; and I join with eight Affghans.
