The long march to Lucknow
This is an excellent account of the Indian Mutiny as experienced by
an officer of the Rifle Brigade who served with Havelock's
Allahabad Moveable Column in 1857 on its march to Lucknow and in
which he was closely associated with the 78th Highlanders
(Ross-shire Buffs) as a volunteer. Leonaur have retitled their
edition of North's account, which was originally ambiguously
published as, Journal of an English Officer in India. Havelock's
'little band, ' as the author affectionately terms it, fought its
way to Cawnpore and crossed the Ganges into Oude before taking part
in the fierce fighting in and around Lucknow and contributing to
the relief of the besieged garrison in the Residency. Those
familiar with Indian Mutiny accounts know that memoirs tend to
portray the terrible retribution exacted by the British and reveal
fighting of the most brutal and merciless kind with little quarter
asked or given.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
