A Narrative of the Siege of Delhi / With an Account of the Mutiny at Ferozepore in 1857

A first-person account chronicles a large-scale uprising and the prolonged siege of a major city, beginning with unrest at a frontier post, an urgent march, and the routines and hardships of camp life. It recounts siegecraft, bombardments, sorties, storming of breaches and fierce street fighting, together with disease, shortages and civilian suffering. The narrative records executions, looting and the moral strains on soldiers, and interleaves practical reflections on leadership, tactics and discipline. It closes with an account of occupation, the difficulties of restoring order, administrative delays in recognition and reward, and the emotional and material aftermath for survivors.
