""Through The Buffer State: A Record Of Recent Travels Through Borneo, Siam, And Cambodia"" is a travelogue written by John Macgregor, first published in 1896. The book is an account of Macgregor's journey through the Southeast Asian countries of Borneo, Siam (now Thailand), and Cambodia. Macgregor's travels took him through remote and often dangerous regions, and he provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encountered along the way. He recounts his experiences of hunting and fishing, as well as his encounters with local tribes and their customs. The book also offers a historical perspective on the region, as Macgregor discusses the impact of colonialism and the struggles for independence that were taking place at the time. He also provides insights into the economic and political systems of the countries he visited, as well as their religious practices and beliefs. Overall, ""Through The Buffer State"" is a fascinating account of a bygone era, offering readers a glimpse into the world of Southeast Asia in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
