Edward Frederick Knight (1852-1925) was an English barrister, soldier, and writer. He wrote many works of fiction, often based on his dispatches as a war correspondent.

This travel memoir records Knight's trips to Kashmir and the Himalayas. He started his journey in Ladakh. Once he reached Gilgit, he joined the British forces, led by Colonel Algernon Durand, in a military campaign. He also served as a correspondent for The Times during this time.
