How I Shot My Bears

"How I Shot My Bears; Or, Two Years' Tent Life in Kullu and Lahoul" recounts Richard Humphrey Tyacke's hunting expeditions in the Kullu and Lahoul regions of India. Published in 1893, this firsthand account details the experiences and observations of a sportsman in the late 19th century. The book offers a glimpse into the landscapes, wildlife, and culture of these remote areas, focusing on the pursuit of bears and other game. Tyacke's narrative combines practical hunting advice with vivid descriptions of the natural world, providing insight into the life of a hunter in colonial India and offering a historical perspective on big game hunting and exploration during this period. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of hunting, travel in India, and the adventures of early explorers.
