A Thousand Miles On An Elephant In The Shan States is a travelogue written by Holt Samuel Hallett, originally published in 1890. The book details Hallett's journey through the Shan States in Burma, which he undertook on the back of an elephant. The author provides a vivid account of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encounters on his journey, including descriptions of the region's flora and fauna, as well as its history and politics. Hallett's narrative is full of adventure, with encounters with wild animals, treacherous river crossings, and tense interactions with local tribes. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into a remote and largely unknown part of the world, as well as an insight into the attitudes and perspectives of a Victorian-era traveler.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
