Summary "Gold, Sport, and Coffee Planting in Mysore" by Robert H. Elliot is a historical account that appears to have been written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the author’s extensive experiences over 38 years as a planter in the Mysore region of India, detailing his observations on coffee cultivation, the impact of European settlers, and the local socio-economic conditions, particularly during periods of famine. The opening of the book introduces readers to Elliot's journey to Mysore in 1855, where he describes the significant changes in both the travel experience and the region since then. He reflects on the pioneering days of coffee planting, the isolation felt by early European settlers, and the transformative effects of British capital and governance on the local economy and infrastructure. Elliot’s narrative suggests a keen appreciation for the beauty of the Mysore countryside, as well as a commitment to exploring both the challenges and triumphs of agricultural life in the region. As he navigates through his early experiences, readers gain insight into not only the practical aspects of coffee cultivation but also the complexities of cultural interactions and the evolution of Mysore's landscape over time.
