This work delves into the customs, culture, language, and social structure of the Mikir people, an Indigenous group located in Assam, India. The book likely contains valuable observations and studies collated through Stack's personal experiences and interactions with the Mikirs, as he served in various capacities in Assam during the British colonial period. The opening of the text sets the stage by providing an introductory note that outlines Edward Stack's background, noting his early appointment as Director of Land Records and Agriculture in Assam and his deep engagement with the local tribes. It discusses Stack's commitment to documenting the Mikir language and its folk tales with the assistance of a local convert named Sardoka, highlighting the collaborative effort to preserve cultural heritage amid changing societal conditions. The introductory remarks also discuss Stack's untimely death at sea, which cut short his extensive research, and outlines how Sir Charles Lyall compiled the available material into this definitive account of the Mikirs, aiming to honor Stack's legacy.
