Excerpt from The Happy Valley: Sketches of Kashmir the Kashmiris
During my sojourn in India, in the service of Her Majesty, as a medical officer to the Forces, I had the opportunity of constantly meeting and talking with numerous friends and travellers, who had visited Kashmir. From their observations, joined to what I gathered from the somewhat scanty literature treating of that country, I was fairly well acquainted with the subject of these pages before I had the good fortune to visit the Happy Valley for myself, and verify the ideas I had formed from hearsay and books. This event took place in the summer of 1875, and although our visit was short, we travelled over great part of the Valley, saw the objects of interest most worthy of attention, and examined closely into the manners and customs of the inhabitants.
