kumaon

Maneaters of Kumaon is a book (one of several) written by Jim Corbett a Brit, who hunted in India in the 1940's.

I remember reading man eaters of kumaon as a child, it was fascinating and scary.

In 1955-56 it has changed to Ramganga National Park and finally Jim Corbett National Park in the honor of legendary hunter-turned- conservationist, best known for hunting man-eating tigers and leopards in the Kumaon and lower Garhwal in the 1920s.

I think it was in Jim Corbett's book, The Temple Tiger and More Man-eaters of Kumaon (Or it may have been one of his earlier books) where he describes being pounced on by a big cat while in his tent one night - From memory a Tiger - and the only thing he had at arms reach to defend himself was a small cheese knife on his supper plate.

There is this insane book called "Man eaters of Kumaon" by Jim Corbett.

There are reports of two man-eating leopards of Kumaon, which between them killed five hundred and twenty-five humans, before they were killed.

Is this the same Chitwan with man eating tigers, I read about it in Jim Corbett's book Man eaters of Kumaon.

(It helps when there are gimmes like Austen, Tolstoy, Waugh.) One that I hadn't thought of in many years is The Man-Eaters of Kumaon.
