Book Overview
""A Lady's Diary of the Siege of Lucknow"" is a first-hand account of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, written by an anonymous Englishwoman who was trapped in the city of Lucknow during the siege. The diary was originally intended for the author's friends and family back in England, but was later published for a wider audience. The author describes the horrors of living through the siege, including shortages of food and water, constant bombardment by enemy forces, and the deaths of friends and loved ones. She also provides insight into the attitudes and experiences of the British colonial community in India during this tumultuous period. Overall, the diary is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in British imperial history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
