Book excerpt: This history of the Siege of Cawnpore and the massacre of British noncombatants in Colonial India reveals the human side of the struggle. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the strategic garrison at Cawnpore was surprised by an extended siege. Many British noncombatants were holed up in a makeshift entrenchment, suffering from thirst, starvation and disease, all while being bombarded with cannon balls and bullets. After nearly two months, the company surrendered to the rebel leader Nana Sahib in exchange for safe passage out of the city. But when the survivors reached Sati Chaura Ghat, a landing on the River Ganges, they were massacred. Much has been written about the siege of Cawnpore and the political events which caused it, but there less known about the people who suffered the ordeal. In The Devil’s Trap, historian James Bancroft studies official documentation and primary sources from both sides to offer a more human understanding of events and shed light on the lives of the victims.

Excerpt: ... on to Cawnpore, where the poor man was killed by order of the Nana. "Poor Mrs. Carter was kept a prisoner under a guard of "the 7th Cavalry, and after passing the perils of child-birth--a girl "born on the 15th June--she appears to have Been treated by the "Paishwa's widows with consideration and even with kindness, who "possessed the softer and kindlier feelings of womanhood, especially "towards a suffering and unfortunate member of their sex. But to the "Nana pity was unknown, revenge precious, even though expended "on a weak and helpless woman and unconscious babe; and though "at first overlooking his poor captive, whilst occupied in preparing "for the safety of his own miserable life, he did not allow himself "to forget her entirely." CHAPTER IX. I Will now relate what occurred among the prisoners at Putkapoor. When the sepoys of the guard found, on the evening of the 16th July, that the station was deserted by the rebel army, and that a large portion of the population of the city was gone, they also made arrangements to leave, by bringing out their clothes and traps and making them into bundles. The subadar's pony was saddled, and at about candle-light they rose to start. The prison door had been kept locked since eight o'clock that morning; for fear of some, if not all, of the prisoners taking advantage of the confusion and running away, the subadar kept the key of the lock with him, and thus we got no water to drink all that day. Now, when the prisoners saw that they were about to be thus abandoned, they gave a tremendous shout, and used certain expressions, implying that the sepoys would for ever be cursed if they left them thus shut up in this prison. This had its effect; the subadar returned, and made arrangements with a...

Book excerpt: A story of siege, massacre and survival Mowbray Thompson was an officer -stationed at Cawnpore with Wheeler's command within the Indian North Eastern province of Oudh during 1857-the year of the outbreak of the Great Indian Mutiny. The tiny Cawnpore garrison was soon attacked-principally by elements of the Native Bengal Army-and withdrew to occupy an entirely unsuitable and ultimately impossible to defend position. After a period of bloody battle, costly in the lives of soldiers and civilians alike the situation seemed hopeless. Then an offer of honourable surrender appeared to offer the miracle of salvation. But the nightmare of the defenders of Cawnpore was about to escalate to levels of unimagined horror. A series of atrocities was about to befall them that were so terrible that they would become a rallying cry for Blood Vengeance throughout the British empire. This is story of one man-told in his own words-who lived through those terrible days.

Book excerpt: An Illuminating Inquiry Into The Play Of Power And Dominance Behind 1857 On 27 June 1857, Rebels Publicly Slaughtered Over 300 Men, Women And Children Of The Master Race At The Satichaura Ghat In Kanpur. On 15 July, A Group Of Women And Children Who Had Survived Were Killed At The Bibighur. Two Days Later, General Havelock Reclaimed Kanpur And Colonel James Neill Decimated The Rebel Population. This Sequence Of Violence Has Held Sway Over Indian And British Imaginations For Generations, And Historians And Commentators Have Recounted The Massacres With Horror. Locating The Massacres In The Upheaval Which Overtook North India In The Early Nineteenth Century, Rudrangshu Mukherjee, An Eminent 1857 Historian, Analyses The Nature Of The Violence. Mukherjee Argues That The Absence Of Rebel Accounts And Chronicles Inhibits A Telling Of Their Version Of The Story. What Is Available Are The Contemporary Accounts Of British Survivors, Diaries Of British Loyalists And Depositions As Part Of The Official Report Prepared By The British. By Reading These Sources Against Their Grain And By Examining The Manner In Which The Evidence Was Stitched Together, Spectre Of Violence Brings To Light Fresh Directions Of Inquiry Into The Events Of 1857.

Download or read book Massacre at Cawnpore written by V. A. Stuart and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1857, Cawnpore: With savage mutineers laying relentless siege to its very gates, the British garrison at Cawnpore, in the north of pre-partitioned India, holds on with little more than will. A ragged band of exhausted soldiers defending some 400 frightened women and hungry children in a crumbling outpost, they wait behind frail mud walls, under a scorching sun, for the uncertain arrival of relief troops. Meticulously researched and historically accurate, Stuart’s tragic story from the Indian Mutiny resonates in the struggles against religious fanaticism of our own time. Intense and inspiring, it describes the heroism of a handful of British soldiers and civilians who confronted swarms of vengeful sepoys and all but hopeless odds, as seen through the eyes of Stuart’s characters, Sheridan and his wife Emmy.
