John Potter spent a decade in India with the British Army in the mid-nineteenth century. From thick jungles to towering mountains, from world wonders to unimaginable horrors, this is his firsthand account of everything he experienced.
His diary has been carefully preserved by his family since it was finished in 1864 and now, nearly 160 years later, has finally been typed up, formatted, and made available to a wider audience.
"I've seen enough of foreign lands, and wish no more to roam their jungle tracts or burning sands. My wish is Home! Sweet Home!" - John Potter
