D.C. Kala's writings from the mid-1950s describing what is now the Corbett Park appear here too, as do extracts from Memoirs of the Raj by G.R. Kala, a government official and contemporary of Corbett posted in the Kumaon regions where the hunter was most active. Finally, the full text of Jim Corbett's lengthy Last Will and Testament is reproduced, affording new insights into his character and state of mind at the end of his life. All readers of Corbett's compelling corpus will require this book to complete their collection of his inimitable writings. https://www.hachetteindia.com/Home/bookdetails/Info/9789393701398/the-corbett-papers-biographical_-legal_-@-contextual-material-on-the-life-@-career-of-jim-corbett-of-kumaon
