Description: "Kipling became the voice of the eastern British Empire, and his writing covered Central Asia. Kipling drew inspiration from working with far-flung correspondents at the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, Pakistan. One of his chief correspondents was Dr. Charles Owen who served a tour of duty with the Afghan Boundary Commission between 1884 and 1886. "--Provided by publisher.
