About The Book: The book "Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions" is a comprehensive exploration of Mysore and Coorg's history, utilizing inscriptions as valuable contemporary records. Major Dixon's early photographic efforts in 1865 captured 150 inscriptions, providing a basis for historical understanding. Lewis, appointed Director of Archaeological Researches in 1884, expanded the study, forming the Archaeological Department in 1890. The meticulous exploration revealed insights into ruling powers, their ancestry, and achievements, filling historical gaps. The book serves as a compendium, summarizing the Epigraphia Carnatica volumes, and is a valuable resource for scholars, shedding light on Karnataka's history, literature, and culture.
