Description  
Winter India is a travelogue written by Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, an American writer and photographer who traveled extensively throughout Asia. The book was first published in 1903 and describes Scidmore's experiences during her winter journey through India.Scidmore's writing style is descriptive and vivid, painting a picture of the sights, sounds, and smells of India during the early 20th century. She covers a wide range of topics, including Indian history and culture, the country's natural beauty, and the daily lives of its people.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of India. Scidmore begins by describing her arrival in Bombay (now Mumbai) and her impressions of the city. She then travels to various parts of the country, including Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, and writes about the famous landmarks and monuments she encounters, such as the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort.Throughout the book, Scidmore provides insights into the customs and traditions of Indian society, including the caste system and the role of women. She also writes about the impact of British colonialism on the country and the tensions that existed between the British rulers and the Indian people.Overall, Winter India is a fascinating and informative account of India during a pivotal period in its history. Scidmore's observations and experiences provide a unique perspective on the country and its people, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in Indian culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
