Narrative of various journeys in Balochistan, Afghanistan, and the Panjab: Including a residence in those countries from 1826 to 1838

This book contains a brief account of the revolt in Balochistân, an episode merely of the great political drama enacted west of the Indus, but deserving attention as the precursor of the catastrophe subsequently developed at Kâbal. The volume concludes with a memoir on Eastern Balochistân, covering geography, tribes, government and history, antiquities and dialects, military force, revenue, trade, agriculture, manners, customs and natural history and mineralogy.
