内容简介
After living on the Mekran coast of Baluchistan, Miles spent 14 years as Political Agent and Consul in Muscat. Murder, rebellion and rumors of piracy kept Miles continuously on his toes. Constant travel and contact with the local tribes allowed him to record many aspects of the Persian Gulf, including religious influence, social conditions, commerce, population, geography, agriculture and fishing. This detailed account allows readers to glimpse into what Persian Gulf life was like during the late 1800s.
