In lucid prose and subtle, almost undetectable humor, Corbett describes his remarkable pursuit of the Mohan (pronounced 'Mo-haan') Tiger in the year 1931, who had cast a pall of gloom in the villages along the banks of the Kosi river in the Garhwal district of the modern-day Uttarakhand state.
Recorded on Sunday, July 25th, 2021 on Jim Corbett's 146th birth anniversary as a small tribute to the pioneering conservationist.
For those who might desire a little more visual connection to the story, images of the Forester's Hut (which still stands today in some form), where Corbett stayed during his pursuit, and its surroundings are available, courtesy of a travel blog by the name of "wildmannered".
wildmannered.w...
The geographical coordinates for the hut are 29°34’49.23″N 79° 8’11.39″

The audiobook begins at 2:18 after the Corbett dedication. Two corrections need to be made. First, at 2:00 I mistakenly called Corbett "a railway clerk". He was instead a fuel inspector, overseeing the movement of goods. Small but not a trivial error. Second, the hamlet of 'Mohan' is actually pronounced 'Mo-haan', and regrettably, I only found out about this after the upload. Just a friendly reminder, if you liked or enjoyed the content please don't forget to hit the like button and consider subscribing. A little help on your part will make it worth the effort that goes into making these and improving the audio production quality. Appreciate your time and thanks for watching!

Wow Mr Singh, you have done it again! I am 59 years old now and have been legally blind all my life. I first came across the gym Corbett stories when as a teenager some of them had been read onto tape. We would now call these audiobooks and I remember way back then how gripping they were and how I could not put them down until they were finished. I came across your KZbin channel just a few months ago and you have re-introduced me to the stories of this great man along with Kenneth Anderson! You are doing an absolutely fantastic job here and all credit goes to you Sir. Thank you and if you can, please keep up this wonderful work.

Thank you for all of these audio recordings and your appreciation to a great man and his fierce dedication to helping the people at his own risk when he didn’t have to do it. Most people don’t realize what that kind of stress and those long hours can do to a person’s nerves only people that have been in war kicking down doors to houses not knowing if there’s a guy with a gun standing on the other side of the door have any idea as to the stress and andreline rushes followed by hours an hours of boredom but not being able to keep your guard down due to the fact that there’s a killer that could be feet away!! that would drive a lot of people crazy and it does and this man continually did it over and over and over it’s truly amazing!!

Mr Singh thank you so much for these audiobooks. I've been banging on at Audible (UK) to make the Corbett stories into audio for about 10 years! You should certainly approach them. I have read these stories since I was a child (I am now 36) and loved the detail and the atmosphere Jim created. One of my friends whom I got to know over the last 10 years of his life named Kim Dodwell, was a D-Day veteran and I loved hearing his war stories. I only learnt in the last few months of his life that he also travelled to India after the war and was trained by Jim Corbett. Kim too was a great naturalist and (in those days) hunter. He too went after man-eaters and it was the privelege of my life to speak with him about it. Indeed, the last conversation we had was on the subject, a few days before he died. A great man and very reminiscent of Jim. Thank you, Ben
@selvalore
@selvalore 3 жыл бұрын
That's an incredible story Ben! Thanks for sharing details about Mr. Dodwell with us. Jim did train troops for jungle warfare in his later years, which is when he also became seriously ill, so his story checks out. You are privileged indeed to have known someone who was there at D-Day. I can only imagine the stories someone like that had to tell. You're right. Its surprising that Audible doesn't have a rendition of Man Eaters of Kumaon on file but they do have some of his other works. I wouldn't want anything to do with them though because it would almost certainly be put behind a pay wall. Jim's works are of cultural and historic value and should be available for all to hear. Best!

@@selvalore Good point re: audible. And yes, I totally agree, they should be available for all, as you have done. Another snippet from my past you may be interested in, is that my great great Uncle was Sir Frank Sly (Uncle Frank) who was Govenor of the Central Provinces. He was apparently a 'good govenor', fair and generous and still held in high regard by the local people. One of his 'jobs' when visiting dignataries came to stay was to take them on tiger shoots. My grandmother (on his side of the family of course) had a tiger skin and head in her house in Dorset (southern England) brought back from the Central Provences by Uncle Frank. As children we would play on it and stroke the head. Since my grandmother's death 10 years ago, it is now in the care of my cousin in London who has had it professionally restored by a taxidermist and looks fantastic...although better alive of course! I have a claw from it as a physical memento of that time. Thank you again for bringing these stories back to life. Ben

Once again Mr. A. V. Singh you have shown yourself to be a true gentleman, listening to those kind words you said about Jim Corbett at the beginning of the Mohan man eater video and for reference today is the 22nd of April 2024. These men who tracked and killed man eater Tigers and leopards were courageous to a fault must have had nerves of steel which probably got a little strained and tense at times. Not only Jim Corbett but Kenneth Anderson,J E Carrington Turner,M M Ismail,Colonel Bloomfield surely these were men of their times as you have said.

Back in the 1980s on a very pitch black, misty, overcast night my nephew and I called up a panther. We had been predator calling and had given up the effort. We had our feet propped up on an old abandoned stone foundation deep in the woods, our flashlights turned out. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. We were laughing and talking. From out of the ground, directly behind us, came a blood curdling scream like a woman in pure terror, followed by a roar like the MGM lion. Both flashlights came on in midair and both my nephew and I were clawing clouds and headed for the moon. If I had hair on my head it would still be standing straight up for I'll swear to this day I felt that things hot breath on my leg. There is something about a very dark cold night with snow on the ground and a large cat in close proximity that takes a modern man right back to the Paleolithic and the terror of a hunted animal. I've had deep sympathy for mice ever since. It was an experience I wouldn't take anything for but to sit on the ground over human bait while waiting for a Maneater to appear? I can understand why and I can understand the rush someone would get from such a thing. But no, I'd rather hear the stories in a nice warm house with a good fire going and a cup of coffee in my hand.

My interest in Jim Corbett's works and this genre of literature has been revived substantially because of your narrations. Full credit to you Mr. Singh. Keep doing these if possible. My subscription is how I say thanks in my own small way.

Love these stories. Something about them that is so appealing as a nature lover. The setting, the atmosphere, tigers, some element of danger, some history, the clear narration. Potent mixture.

Great to see we are getting back to the Jim Corbett books, my dad first showed me his book the man eating leopard of Rudraprayag and that is still my favourite of his books but I found more books I loved them too and respect and admire Jim greatly. I just wish he was alive today to hear to stories in this own word and tell him what an inspiration he has been to so many people

I would get to it eventually. Its just that its a significant time commitment to do the whole book at once. It will run to almost 6 hours of audio I reckon. Thats like a 50 hour plus time commitment to get to the finished product.

Also wondering if you could make a 'Jungle Lore' audiobook? if that's legally possible or whatever lol but keep up the great videos homie
