A Tea Planter’s Life in Assam is a memoir written by George M. Barker, a British tea planter who lived and worked in Assam, India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a detailed account of Barker’s experiences living and working in the region, including his interactions with local communities and his observations on the tea industry. Barker describes the challenges and rewards of tea planting in Assam, including the harsh climate, difficult terrain, and the complex social and political dynamics of the region. He also provides insight into the daily life of tea planters, including their relationships with their workers, their interactions with local officials, and their experiences of colonial rule. Throughout the book, Barker reflects on his personal journey as a tea planter in Assam, including his struggles with illness and his relationships with his family and colleagues. He also offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of Assam, including its traditions, customs, and religious practices. Overall, A Tea Planter’s Life in Assam provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of British tea planters in colonial India, as well as a valuable historical record of life in Assam during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
