Memoir consisting of rewritten letters Ronald Rude sent home over his 3 years with Peace Corps, Nepal 17, between 1968 and 1971. It covers his relationship with Nepalese coworkers as well as other Peace Corps volunteers, frustrations, successes, cultural events experienced, a comparison of ceremonies as performed by Hill and Terai Brahmans of Nepal, and travel. The memoirs contain many photos, some taken at a location restricted to Brahman families negotiating the marriage of their children.
Nepal 22 Chronicles is a companion book to another effort by the Nepal 22 group, Peace Corps/Nepal 22 – A Retrospective on the Post-Peace Corps Careers of Trainees, Trainers, Staff & RPCVs (March 2010). That book is available online in the Peace Corps Community Archives that is curated by the American University Library.
