Description
This is the narrative of a German Baron of his journey to the North of India in 1834-35. The Baron possessed keen observation and faithfully recounts all that he saw and experienced on his travels. The Baron passed through Punjab during the reign of Ranjit Singh and he does not miss at describing what he saw at the sikh court. As with all books on travel, this book too is replete with anecdotes, travel tales, snippets of history, descriptions of topography, vignettes of local customs and beliefs and personal observations on the nature of the natives. The Baron started from Bilaspur (in Himachal Pradesh), to Kashmir, to Atok, to Lahore and finished in Amritsar. This book is a reprint of the 1845 edition.
