From The Black Mountain To Waziristan is a book written by Harold C. Wylly that chronicles his experiences as a British officer in the North-West Frontier Province of India (now Pakistan) during the early 20th century. The book is a first-hand account of Wylly's adventures, as he navigates the rugged terrain of the region and interacts with its diverse inhabitants, including Pashtun tribesmen, Afghan refugees, and British soldiers.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Wylly's experiences. These include his early days in the region, his encounters with local tribes and their customs, his participation in various military campaigns, and his observations on the political and social conditions of the region.Throughout the book, Wylly provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the events that he encounters, painting a rich and detailed picture of life in the North-West Frontier Province during a tumultuous period in its history. He also offers insights into the challenges faced by the British Empire in maintaining control over the region, and the complex relationships between the various factions involved.Overall, From The Black Mountain To Waziristan is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known chapter in British colonial history, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the North-West Frontier Province.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
