Keywords: Kanpur, Cawnpore, Revolt, 1857, Rebellion, Mutiny
Publisher: Macmillan, London
Description: This work discusses the outbreak of the 1857 revolt in Cawnpore (now Kanpur) in great detail from the beginning to the end. Composed in 1865, this serves more or less as a firsthand record of the event, written with fresh memory. This book, however, is written through a colonial lens of the episode. Nana Saheb Peshwa and other Indians appear predominantly in the work. The minute detailing in the work seems like day to day account of the uprising. Outbreak, siege, treachery, massacre are some of the themes discussed in the book.
