About this book
My Experiences in Manipur and the Naga Hills is by the late Major-General Sir James Johnstone, with an introductory memoir. The dedication is to the memory of the author's wife, who shared in many of his labours and anxieties in Manipur, and the Naga Hills. The author's preface says that he first brought his wife out to India in 1873.
The text says that in 1855 young James Johnstone went to a military college in Paris. The text says Lieutenant Johnstone was appointed special assistant to the superintendent of the Tributary Mehals at Cuttack. The text describes a very gay and animated scene, picturesque in the contrast between the snow-white garments of Manipuri men, the parti-coloured petticoats of the women, and the many-coloured clothes of the hill-men. The author writes that he proclaimed the passes into Manipur open to traders, which gave great satisfaction to all.
