Leslie printed by Hullmandel, which was not present in the copy examined for the Wagner-Camp entry, or in the Library of Congress copy. Wagner-Camp notes that "Hunter's autobiography includes his story of a journey across the mountains to the Pacific Ocean, `on the south side of the Chok-a-li-lum (Columbia River)'." Wagner doubted the veracity of this account, although he accepted Hunter's description of life among the Kansas and Osage Indians as authentic. He claimed to have been abducted at an early age by Kickapoo Indians, but escaped to white settlements to get an education. He visited London where he was lionised in 1823-34 and then returned to America where he was murdered by Cherokees.

From 1866 to 1883 he was a prisoner at the Port Blair penal colony in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Tawarikh-i 'Ajib, an account of his time in prison, is also known under the title Kala Pani. Printed on the verso of the title-page is a testimonial in English from Richard Carnac Temple as cantonment magistrate, Ambala: 'I have known Muhammad Jafir to 10 years, first as a munshi at Port Blair and then as an employe [sic] here under me, whatever may have been his shortcoming in days gone by he seems to have profited by this severe punishment that overtook him and has been as long as I have known him a quiet, inoffensive man [...]'. A date in the colophon suggests that the work may have first been printed in 1887. The second work, Nayrang-i Afghan, appears to be a history of Afghanistan; the author's other works according to a note on the title-page include works on Russia (Kitab-i Rus) and the Islamic schools of law (Haqa'iq-i Madhahib).
