Download or read book A Missing Chapter of the Indian Mutiny Classic Reprint written by Charles Lionel Showers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Missing Chapter of the Indian Mutiny In proceeding now to recount the events of the troubled period of the Mutiny as experienced within the circle of my extensive official charge, I purpose quoting generally from my unpublished Reports and Diaries and Correspondence of the period, in order that the incidents may be presented in succession to the reader with the greater fidelity and graphic force as life-photographs taken at the time. The historic land-marks left by the events about to be related in this missing chapter of the Indian Mutiny, may serve to complete the history of its suppression by such a numerically inferior and scattered force of the English race, as seemed, at the time, almost to preclude hope. In depositing that record of achievement, then, upon the shelves of the National archives, the people of England would not, I believe, willingly see it curtailed by one line of recorded honest effort.

In this book, while historical outlines are carefully pre served, it is attempted to throw into relief the more picturesque episodes, and to bring out illustrative incidents of personal adventure likely to attract young readers. With such a theme, if any reader will only suffer some needful gravity in the introduction, he may be promised a nar rative of heroism and romance which the dullest.

Book A History of the Indian Mutiny

Download or read book A History of the Indian Mutiny written by T. Rice Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Indian Mutiny: And of the Disturbances Which Accompanied It Among the Civil Population About two years ago Messrs. Macmillan agreed, at my request, to take over the publication of this history; and it appeared to me that the time had come for thoroughly revising the whole book. In June, 1896, before the revision had proceeded far, the fourth edition was exhausted: but, although it was certain that a considerable time must elapse before the work could be finished, the publishers thought that it would be unwise to print any more copies from the old plates; and indeed it would have been hardly fair to offer intending purchasers a reprint while I was trying to make the book better worth buying. The structure of the work remains unchanged; and only such alterations have been made as appeared necessary. Wherever I could detect an inaccuracy, I have corrected it: wherever the narrative of military operations was deficient in lucidity, I have tried to amend it. I have struck out a few superfluous sentences, have added what, to my apprehension, was wanting, and have modified judgements which, on reconsideration, appeared misleading or unfair. Among the more important alterations and additions are those which relate to the Afghan war, the battle of Sacheta and the events which led up to it, the battle of Chinhat, the defence of the Lucknow Residency, Havelock's campaign, Lord Canning's Oudh proclamation and the vexed question of Sir Colin Campbell's responsibility for the protraction of the war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kaye's and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8, Vol. 4 of 6 The present volume narrates the story of the storming of Dehli, the subsequent clearing of the country in the vicinity of that city, and the march to Agra and Kanhpur. It proceeds then to deal with Sir Colin Campbell's journey from Calcutta to Kanhpur; his relief of the garrison of Lakhnao; and his safe escort of the women and children of that garrison to Kanhpur. It devotes then a chapter to the attack of the Gwaliar contingent on that central point, and to Windham's consequent action; another, to Colin Campbell's reply to their daring aggression. Narrating, then, the movements of the several columns of Walpole and Seaton, and of the main body under Sir Colin, in the North-West; the action of the NipKanhpurl troops under Jang Bahadur; and of the columns under Rowcroft and Franks in the Azamgarh district and in eastern Oudh; it proceeds to describe the four months' defence of the Alambagh by the illustrious Outram;then, the last movements which preceded Sir Colin's attack on Lakhnao; then, the storming of that city. From this point the narrative returns to the Bengal Presidency proper, and describes the outbreaks in eastern Bengal, in eastern Bihar, in Chutia Nagpur, and their repression; deals then with the difficulties caused mainly by the suicidal action of the Government in western Bihar; gives in full detail the splendid action of Lord Mark Kerr the relief of Azamgarh, one of the two instances on record in which a surprised army defeated the surprisers; proceeds then to the campaign of Lugard, Douglas, and their lieutenants, against Kunwar Singh and his brother Amar Singh, in western Bihar; describes the gallantry of Middleton, and the fertility of resource of, and striking success achieved by, Sir Henry Havelock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red Year: A Story of the Indian Mutiny One evening in the month of April, a slim, straight backed girl stood in the veranda of a bungalow at Meerut. Her slender figure, garbed in white muslin, was framed in a creeper-covered arch. The fierce ardor of an Indian spring had already kissed into life a profusion of red flowers amid the mass of greenery, and, if Winifred Mayne had sought an effective setting for her own fair picture, she could not have found one better fitted to its purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kaye's and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8, Vol. 6 of 6 In conclusion, I would with great respect lay the last volume of this work before the public as the concluding words of an attempt to describe, faithfully and without prejudice, the most marvellous episode of modern times. There had been nothing to equal it in the world's history before. I repeat here, what I have said in a previous volume, that no harder task was ever suddenly thrown upon a nation than that cast upon the British in 1857. In achieving it, they literally conquered the impos sible that is, they performed a task which, I believe, no other people in the World could have accomplished. They conquered, because, in the darkest hour, they never despaired because, believing in their own energies, they dared to be great.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Face of the Waters: A Tale of the Mutiny A word of explanation is needed for this book, which, in attempting to be at once a story and a history, proba bly fails in either aim. That, however, is for the reader to say. As the writer, I have only to point out where my history ends, my story begins, and clear the way for criticism. Briefly, then, I have not allowed fiction to interfere with fact in the slightest degree. The reader may rest assured that every incident bearing in the remotest degree on the Indian Mutiny, or on the part which real men took in it, is scrupulously exact, even to the date, the hour, the scene, the very weather. Nor have I allowed the actual actors in the great tragedy to say a word regarding it which is not to be found in the accounts of eye-witnesses, or in their own writings.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analytical Index to Sir John W. Kaye's History of the Sepoy War and Col. G. B. Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny: Combined in One Volume This index gives a summary of all the occurrences which took place in any town or district, and of all the actions recorded of any person, mentioned in the "History of the Sepoy War," by Sir John Kaye, and the "History of the Indian Mutiny," by Col. G. B. Malleson. In most cases the events are necessarily classified, but without losing sight of chronological arrangement; dates being given for all actions of particular significance, or of such as, it is supposed, those who use the book might desire to know, without referring to the volumes themselves. It is hoped that the method adopted will enable this Index to be of use to anyone who wishes to ascertain the extent to which any person or place was concerned in the great Mutiny, so far as mentioned in the volumes specified. For facilitating reference, the longer articles have been provided with italic side-heads, so that particular periods of the history may be readily found; examples of this are to be seen under the articles "Dehli," "Lakhnau," &c.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian Richard M. Ketchum's Saratoga vividly details the turning point in America's Revolutionary War. In the summer of 1777 (twelve months after the Declaration of Independence) the British launched an invasion from Canada under General John Burgoyne. It was the campaign that was supposed to the rebellion, but it resulted in a series of battles that changed America's history and that of the world. Stirring narrative history, skillfully told through the perspective of those who fought in the campaign, Saratoga brings to life as never before the inspiring story of Americans who did their utmost in what seemed a lost cause, achieving what proved to be the crucial victory of the Revolution.
