Excerpt from Afoot and Afloat in BurmaJust across the Bay of Bengal in India, its next-door neighbor, is Burma. It is very different from India, not only as to the general appearance of the country itself, but also as regards the people, their manner of living, and the language spoken. That this should be so is really not hard to under stand.Though joined by land to India in the north, Burma is separated from that country by mountain ranges which are difficult to cross. This has left the country shut in and isolated from earliest times. The pages of Indian history are scarred by the records of, Alexander the Great and other invaders, and the country and people have been in¿uenced greatly by these various conquerors, yet Burma has been sheltered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
