Reminiscences Of Twenty Years������� Pigsticking In Bengal (1893) is a memoir written by Raoul, a British colonial officer, about his experiences hunting wild boars in the Indian region of Bengal during the late 19th century. The book is a detailed account of pigsticking, a popular sport among British colonials in India, where participants on horseback would chase and spear wild boars. Raoul describes the various techniques used for hunting, the equipment required, and the dangers involved. He also provides insights into the social and cultural aspects of the sport, including the role of the local Indian population in facilitating pigsticking. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial mindset and the attitudes towards wildlife and indigenous people during this period. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on an obscure aspect of colonial life in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
