Mutiny Memoirs

Book Description
Originally published in 1891. The Sepoy Mutiny was a violent and very bloody uprising against British rule in India in 1857. It is also known by other names: the Indian Mutiny, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, or the Indian Revolt of 1857. In Britain and in the West, it was almost always portrayed as a series of unreasonable and bloodthirsty uprisings spurred by falsehoods about religious insensitivity. In India it has been viewed quite differently. And events of 1857 have been considered the first outbreak of an independence movement against British rule. -Robert McNamara, 19th Century History Expert The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a rebellion in India against the rule of the British East India Company, that ran from May 1857 to July 1859. -Wikipedia OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. When the Indian Mutiny commenced, Colonel Mackenzie was a young subaltern officer stationed at Meerut, and this volume is a record of his personal experiences and adventures. The book is not only eminently readable, but as a plain account of the chief features of one of the most important episodes in our military history, it is distinctly valuable. -Review of Reviews, 15th December, 1891. The story of the Indian Mutiny has been told and re-told, but it has and always must have an exceeding interest for the Anglo-Indian, especially when its events are recounted by one who saw much that went on in those stirring times and is, in addition, as well known as Colonel Mackenzie is to so many of them. "Mutiny Memoirs" first saw the light in the columns of the Pioneer, and have now been published in book form. When the Mutiny broke out, Lieutenant Mackenzie was with his regiment, the 3rd Light Cavalry, at Meerut. His account of the outbreak is, therefore, that of one who was on the spot and saw all its horrors. Over thirty years have passed since then, but the memory of that fearful time is evidently too strongly engraved on his mind ever to be dimmed or obliterated. We are reminded, too, of all the horrors that our country-women suffered at that terrible period. - Civil & Military Gazette, 22nd December, 1891

Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXV. CONCLUSION. After leaving Muttra I had no further direct concern with the mutinies. I will, however, briefly relate the leading events that accompanied their suppression. Early in the year Lucknow was relieved, and the Gwalior contingent dispersed. The lower part of the Doab being now cleared of the rebels, Lord Canning left Calcutta and assumed charge of the Upper Provinces. He fixed his residence at Allahabad, to which station he transferred the seat of government. In the course of the year Lucknow was captured and Eohilcund reoccupied. So far as these provinces were concerned the mutiny was ended. It was not, however, till the lapse of another year that order was restored in Central India and other places. In November 1858, a general amnesty was proclaimed, and the Queen assumed the sovereignty of India. Her doing so gave great satisfaction to the natives, but for a reason which the English public would not have imagined, and of which I do not believe it is even now aware. The natives were under the belief that the East India Company farmed the country from the English Crown. They supposed, consequently, that the abolition of the Company would be followed by a remission of revenue to the extent of the profits which the Company had been in the habit of receiving. They also imagined that the direct government by the Queen would be accompanied by the establishment of a court, and a display of that splendour so congenial to their tastes. 'In the suppression of the mutinies, or rather in what followed their suppression, there were displayed many of the best English characteristics, but also some of our qualities less praiseworthy. There was no retaliation, no revenge; but, on the other hand, there was that rigid adherence to...

Book Description
The dramatic, savage story of the Indian Mutiny is one of enduring interest to students of the British Raj and of colonial warfare of the 19th century. The Mutiny was the greatest of all Queen Victoria s little wars of Empire and led to permanant changes in Britain s relations with her Indian Empire and, arguably, to Indian independence less than a century later. James Wise was a Scottish army doctor who attached to a mixed column which set out to repress the mutiny, travelling from Meerut, where it broke out, to the capital Delhi and beyond to Cawnpore, Lucknow and other sites of gross atrocities and epic military struggles and sieges. Originally written for his own family, Walsh s account is an unvarnished, detailed, eye-witness daily record of the Mutiny from May 1857 to January 1858 which will be of lasting interest to the many students of this brave and tragic Imperial campaign.
