"Ranching, Sport and Travel" by Thomas Carson is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The work narrates the author’s life experiences primarily focused on cattle ranching in the southwestern United States and tea planting in India, interwoven with various adventures and travels. Carson shares not only his personal stories but also insights into the cultures and landscapes he encountered, making this a rich exploration of his dual passions for ranching and travel. The opening of this narrative provides a glimpse into Carson's transition from a seemingly conventional life in office work to the adventurous and often unpredictable realms of tea planting in India and ranching in America. As a young man, he embarks on a journey to Cachar, India, where he learns about tea cultivation and the complexities of managing a tea garden. He describes the challenges of engaging with local customs, while also experiencing the thrill of polo and interactions with indigenous tribes. Following this, the narrative shifts to his venture into ranching, detailing his experiences with cattle in Arizona and the associated lifestyle, which includes encounters with outlaws and the rugged wilderness characteristic of the American West. Through vivid descriptions and reflections, Carson establishes a sense of adventure and a deep appreciation for the natural world, which resonates throughout the narrative.
