The very first of the man-eaters vanquished by Jim Corbett was the famous Champawat man-eater tiger in the year 1907. Responsible for 436 documented kills, the Champawat tigress remains the deadliest animal in history.
A couple of quick reminders. Please use headphones if possible. These earlier readings were done with little understanding of the intricacies of audio recording and it shows in the sound quality. Also, the cover art illustration is actually a depiction of a scene from another Jim Corbett's story of the Chowgarh Tiger and not from Champawat man-eater, which I uploaded by mistake.

Excellent stuff and well again. Early 20th century years were the early years of modernization and man-animal conflicts all over the world were a result of increasing human encroachment, which was just beginning to hit the tipping point. Hearing these stories in the night relaxes me and makes me travel back in time. Books are the closest things to a time machine.

I love how Jim Corbett has such empathy for the people and how he wins their trust! I feel that he would have gotten along with Jeremy Wade of River Monsters. I am really enjoying this narration! Thank you kindly for making this video!! ✌🏼💖 Edited: This was just as riveting as the previous one! SPOILER ALERT!! I loved how he took time out to visit the woman whose sister had been killed! His kind act was repaid in full!! What a courageous yet sweet-hearted man! Thank you again for sharing this story with us!!

So glad to have stumbled upon these tonight! While I can't argue the fact that British imperialism wasn't a very good thing, there is something undeniably awesome & romantic about the stories recanted by these British hunters in the wilds of India. Often times strangers in an even stranger land... Thanks for posting!

Late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries. The imperium was at its height. Corbett and Anderson with Irish and Scottish antecedents respectively thought of themselves as Indian, yet not really Indian. As representatives of the dominant tribe in India, they instinctively maintained some distance. Those who have not experienced colonization would not quite understand the undercurrents of the time. That Corbett aligned himself with India in a somewhat naively superior manner comes through his earlier writings. That he aligned himself with Britain comes through when he was in Africa.

Britons have been colonised first by the Romans then by the Saxons then by the Vikings and finally by the Normans. So we know all about colonisation. The difference is that unlike the many ungrateful countries we colonised and improved during our empire. We look back at our own colonisations without dwelling on the negatives and instead concentrate more on the improvement to our people and culture they brought. What’s more, those colonists were absorbed into our nation so today we cannot tell a Briton from a Saxon or a Viking or a Norman today we are all just British. Yet the Indians, like so many of our other colonies, drove out the British after 1947. I wonder if this was because coloured people could not bear to live alongside white people who they considered superior in so many ways compared to them so they simply drove them out? 🤔

I'm a big fan of this channel, it's excellent on all accounts. I've been reading adventure stories like these for years (I'm now 72 and I still love them) and the telling is always great. But I listen to them for historical importance too and history demands maps of some kind to accompany the events. All of these lands are vast and are not within the general knowledge of listeners so perhaps a thing to consider would be a limited map of locales with old and new place names, to give viewers a general idea where, within all of India or Africa, these events occurred.

I'm surprised the Indian people didn't build high walls around all of their villages to keep big cats and bears out. They have plenty of forests, so at any time, the village people could have cut down a couple of acres and built a huge wall. To me, knowing tigers and leopards were close to where my children played would be enough to start building.
@selvalore
@selvalore 2 года назад
I see what you're saying but back then people living close to the forests in the villages were pretty used to being around wild animals. Most of the time, they have no reason to build walls as tigers and lepards generally leave the people alone.
@maulikprajapati5137
@maulikprajapati5137 2 года назад
also they depended lot on jungle for their daily routine like for water, wood and sometimes food [fish]. and so a wall couldn't have helped much as these cats had time to get any human they wanted and become man-eater. and after that a wall was not of any help

@@selvalore Might I add that you have almost the perfect voice for these kinds of stories? It's not too deep, like a tiger's growl, nor too sweet, like an owl's uhooo. A polite suggestion. If you could please add some jungle background music while you are reading (not after you have read a particular line and taking a pause)? I am someone who listens to audiobooks all the time, since I don't have time to read books. Phil Dragash's audiobook of Lord of the Rings is the BEST on the planet, and while he impersonates all the voices of different characters, he adds Howard Shore's score to them simultaneously. You can find it on RU-vid and listen to one chapter just to see how he did it. Then, if you have enough time and technology, you can do it too. Thanks for the effort to bring Corbett on RU-vid.

@@aliciaarden2019 Thanks Alicia! I'm still in the process of figuring out the technical aspects of sound recording and have given a serious thought to adding music or jungle sounds to them. However, at this point the consensus seems to be split. Some people seem to like it, some don't. While professionally added sounds might enhance the experience, poorly added ones will spoil for sure. So for the time being, I'm choosing to play it safe by going with no sound and just have the listener's imagination fill in the gaps.

Its OK for Indians to eat wild game,,but not to eat Cow's ???? Is it the same now days ???? . Why didnt Jim carry a Pistol ??? 1977 i was Night Hunting in Georgia on Georgia Power and Timber land,,,i set up in a tree stand next to a swamp and a Huge Soybean Field,,,short version of the story, a Panther was trying to get at Ducks and Beavers, i would hear the ducks trying to get airborn and the Beaver slapping their tails then that Panther would scream. After the second scream, which the first 2 scared the ever living crap out of me, i fired my 25-06 toward the Panther, i thought that will shut him up, it didnt, i missed the second half of the ladder and plopped on the ground, i got up running like my butt was on fire, praying Please Lord dont let him bite me on my neck, i dove into my Pontiac Catalina and slammed and Locked the Doors,,,,,Jim was braver than me,,,,,,and i dont recall ever night hunting again. I never thought i would be that scared with a High Powered rifle in my Hands,, night time is spooky, when you are by yourself and hear dangerous Game
