These extracts from the personal journal of Sir James Outram
(1803-63), which he kept while serving with the 23rd Regiment in
the British Army of the Indus, describe the British campaigns in
Sindh and Afghanistan in 1838-9. In the preface to the book,
originally published in 1840, the author explains that his 'rough
notes' are not attempting a narrative of the military operations
but have been printed 'for the perusal of valued friends'. The work
begins in Sindh, where the author joins the campaign that aims to
restore Shah Shuja to the throne of Kabul, the ultimately
disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War. It is dedicated to Sir William
Macnaghten, who was later killed during negotiations with an Afghan
chief. Outram himself later clashed with the Napier family over Sir
William Napier's account of the Conquest of Scinde, and both books
are also reissued in this series.
