This book explores "Old Times in Assam." It focuses on the district of Tezbmsaugar, a well-known tea region in India, located along the Brahmaputra River between Mansarowar and Mandalay. Covering thousands of square miles, this area is home to numerous tea companies, estates, and gardens, displaying signs of a high level of civilization. The story centers on a young man who left his hometown to work in the tea industry. The author, in possession of the diaries and notes left by the deceased Pekoe Tips, presents fragmented records that provide insights into the past. The documents allude to various people and events, some of which may be unclear due to their incomplete nature. The author regrets not having the time to create a more cohesive narrative but believes these writings offer valuable historical insights.

T. Kinney, a writer, authored "Old Times in Assam" in 1896. He explicitly states that the content consists of reprints from articles originally published in the Englishman and the Indian Planters' Gazette. Kinney conveys his gratitude to the owners of these publications for granting permission to republish these accounts that portray the bygone era in Assam. These articles have the potential to captivate a new generation of planters who are only familiar with the modern, developed Assam. Those "old times" were replete with unrecorded points of interest, and author holds hope that a more skilled chronicler from the early days of the tea industry in Assam will find inspiration to comprehensively document the achievements and challenges faced by the pioneering tea industry figures in the Assam Valley and beyond.
