Durgacharan ( DC) Kala was amongst the old school of journalists who had a log stint at Hindustan Times..he was also a Kumaoni who spent his childhood amongst wooded colonial bungalows & himalayan hills ( his father was a DC during the British Era).
He is the acclaimed 1st biographer of Jim Corbett ( a childhood hero of Kala's ). Later after retirement he settled in Ranikhet and spent time researching on another colorful legend of Garhwal..Frederick Wilson of Hursil(near gangotri).
Both books are delightful tales which give you insights of the life/environment of that era. http://www.scholarswithoutborders.in/item_show.php?code_no=ECL024
