Where Three Empires Meet: A Narrative of Recent Travel in Kashmir, Western Tibet, Gilgit, and the Adjoining Countries is a travel memoir written by Edward Frederick Knight, a British Raj military officer.
Background
In 1890, Knight made trips to Kashmir and the Himalayas to gather research for his book, Where Three Empires Meet. He started his journey in Ladakh and continued to Gilgit. He made it to Gilgit in time to join the fight in 1891 when the British forces led by Colonel Algernon Durand began a military campaign against the smaller states of Hunza and Nagar. He also served as a correspondent for The Times during this time. In addition, he was temporarily appointed as an officer-in-charge of some native troops.[1]
