Grant Duff, 1899, first edition 2 volumes, 373pp 369 pp, original cloth. (3) A British Indian civil servant`s account of the first four months of the Indian Mutiny in 1857, stressing the loyalty of his province, the Punjab. A vivid account of the first four months of the Mutiny, detailing the fate met by many mutinous regiments including the annihilation of the disarmed 26th Bengal NI by the author`s command: `Ten by ten the sepoys were called forth. Their names having been taken down in succession, they were pinioned, linked together, and marched to execution; a firing party being in readiness`. The sepoys behaved with honour and deportment, but when the executions had reached 237, The remainder refused to come out of the bastions where they were housed: The doors were opened and behold! They were nearly all dead! Unconsciously, the tragedy of Howells Black Hole had been re-enacted. Forty-five bodies, dead from fright, exhaustion, fatigue, heat and partial suffocation, were dragged into light, and consigned, in common with all the other bodies, into one common pit, by the hands of the village sweepers. One much wounded survivor was Reprieved for Queens evidence and forwarded to Lahore. Here his luck ran out, however, as he was blown away from a cannon. Cooper`s strong and decisive action was controversial and this account was to explain the need for his actions.
