PREFACE. 



This volume is an almost verbatim reprint of letters 

 written hurriedly by the roadside. It contains neither 

 guide-book descriptions, nor attempts at scenery word- 

 painting, and is simply a plain and unvarnished account 

 of our rough but very pleasant experience of Indian 

 Camp Life. The narrative is, I fear, equally rugged, but 

 both notes and sketches were at least taken on the spot, 

 and I think would lose what realism they may possess, 

 if polished up and elaborated at home.
