While serving in the British Army in India's North-West frontier region in the 1890s, Colonel H.C. Wylly found that there was no reliable, up-to-date information on the tribes or on the terrain. His work describes the tribes and their way of life, as well as the regional background and information on the campaigns waged by the British in their attempts at subjugation. Wylly writes: 'Following the decline of Sikh power ... [these tribes] have there become our natural and troublesome inheritance.' 'It seemed to me, ' he adds, 'that there was room for a single volume, compiled from official and other sources, describing the more turbulent of the tribes beyond our Border, the countries they inhabit, and the campaigns which the Indian Government has undertaken against them during the last sixty-five years.'
