About this book
Letters sent to the Chicago Record-Herald in the winter of 1903-04 make up William Eleroy Curtis's Modern India. Its thirty chapters range from Bombay to Calcutta by way of Ahmedabad, Jeypore, Delhi, Lucknow and Benares, with others on Hindu weddings, religions, caste and the women of India, railways, famine, the army and education. The Mogul emperors and their buildings are covered too, and the Taj Mahal is among the illustrations. Curtis had earlier written travel books on Syria and Palestine, on Egypt, Burma and British Malaysia, and on the Turkish provinces.
