Cawnpore (1866) - George Otto Trevelyan

Cawnpore (1866) is a historical account written by George Otto Trevelyan about the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny. The book focuses on the events that took place in the city of Cawnpore (now Kanpur) during the rebellion, where British civilians and soldiers were besieged by Indian rebels. Trevelyan draws on a variety of sources, including letters, diaries, and official reports, to provide a detailed and vivid description of the siege, the massacre of British women and children, and the subsequent retribution by the British forces. The author also examines the political and social context of the rebellion, including the grievances of the Indian soldiers and the role of religion and nationalism in the conflict. Cawnpore is a gripping and informative account of a pivotal event in British colonial history, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and general readers interested in the history of India and the British Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
