| Synopsis: |
In 1772 the Bhutanese invaded the neighbouring kingdom of Cooch Behar, whose rulers appealed to the East India Company in Calcutta, Bengal, to help them drive the invaders out of their kingdom. The British governor general, Warren Hastings, sent troops who drove the Bhutanese out of Cooch Behar and back into Bhutan. In 1783 another expedition travelled to Bhutan and then to Tibet. It was led by Samuel Turner, a draughtsman and surveyor, and one result was this book with its interesting journal. |
