Originally published in 1939, this book contains the autobiography
of the well-travelled Victorian engineer John Brunton (1812-99),
which he wrote for his grandchildren. Much of the text is taken up
with Brunton's description of his adventures between 1858 and 1862
as Chief Resident Engineer on the Scinde Railway, which ran from
Karachi to Kotri. Brunton's account is easy to read and filled with
a number of interesting vignettes of colonial life and attitudes.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the
history of engineering or the colonial history of India.
