Among the Tibetans By Isabella Lucy Bird

Among the Tibetans By Isabella Lucy Bird: "villages are inhabited by hardy Dards and Baltis short jolly looking darker and far less handsome than the Kashmiris but unlike them they showed so much friendliness as well as interest and curiosity that I remained with them for two days visiting their villages and seeing the sights they had to show me chiefly a great Sikh fort a yak bull the zho a hybrid the interiors of their houses a magnificent view from a hilltop and a Dard dance to the music of Dard reed pipes In return I sketched them individually and collectively as far as time allowed presenting them with the results truthful and ugly I bought a sheep for zs d and regaled the camp upon it the three which were brought for my inspection being ridden by boys astride"
