Sport And Work On The Nepaul Frontier is a book written by James Inglis that details his experiences as a British colonial officer in the Nepalese region of India during the early 20th century. The book is a memoir that covers Inglis’ time spent in the region, where he was responsible for overseeing the construction of roads and bridges, as well as maintaining law and order in the area. In addition to his work duties, Inglis was also an avid sportsman and the book includes descriptions of his hunting expeditions, as well as his experiences playing polo and other sports. The book provides a fascinating insight into the life of a colonial officer during this period, as well as the challenges and rewards of living and working in a remote and often dangerous region of India. Overall, Sport And Work On The Nepaul Frontier is a compelling read for anyone interested in colonial history, as well as those interested in the history of sport and recreation in India. The book is well-written and engaging, and provides a unique perspective on a fascinating period in India’s history.After living at Puttihee for two years, I was transferred to another out-factory in the same concern, called Parewah. There was here a very nice little three-roomed bungalow, with airy verandahs all round. It was a pleasant change from Puttihee, and the situation was very pretty. A small stream, almost dry in the hot weather, but a swollen, deep, rapid torrent in the rains, meandered past the factory. Nearing the bullock-house it suddenly took a sweep to the left in the form of a wide horseshoe, and in this bend or pocket was situated the bungalow, with a pretty terraced garden sloping gently to the stream.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
