What is the Afghanistan history book “The Afghan frontier” (1879)?
The Library of Congress catalogs “The Afghan frontier” as a digitized book dated 1879. The record is indexed for India, and Defenses, making it a discoverable primary or historical source rather than a modern summary page.
What this adds to the history
The catalog credits Campbell, George as creator, contributor, or responsible organization. Attribution helps a reader investigate perspective and purpose.
The catalog connects the item with India, and Afghanistan and lists English. It appears within General Collections, World Digital Library, and Selected Digitized Books.
Use the table of contents, publication context, author background, footnotes, and vocabulary to identify what the book can support. Corroborate factual claims with later scholarship and Afghan sources.
Open the full Library of Congress entry before citing it. Preserve the catalog title, creator, date, item URL, and the exact page, frame, or map detail that supports the claim.
How to read the evidence responsibly
Digitized books and manuscripts let readers inspect how Afghanistan was described at a particular time, by a particular author, publisher, institution, or political setting.
An old book is evidence of what its author recorded or believed. It is not automatically an accurate, neutral, or current account of Afghan people and history.
Check the underlying information.
