Lost Among the Affghans Being the Adventures of John Campbell (Hardcover)

1862. With a portrait. John Campbell (otherwise Feringhee Bacha), narrates his adventures amongst the wild tribes of Central Asia in this simple volume. His remarkable accounts were taken down by the editor directly from his own lips.
