A Varied Life is a memoir written by Thomas Edward Gordon, detailing his experiences in both military and civil service, as well as his adventures in sport and travel throughout India, Central Asia, and Persia. The book covers the period from 1849 to 1902, providing a fascinating glimpse into the life of a British colonial administrator during the height of the British Empire. Gordon's experiences include serving in the Indian Army during the Indian Mutiny, working as a civil servant in India and Afghanistan, and exploring the remote regions of Central Asia and Persia. Along the way, he also indulges his passion for sport, including hunting, fishing, and polo. The book is a valuable historical record of the British presence in the region during this time, as well as a captivating personal account of one man's remarkable life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
