Massacre At Cawnpore : (Sheridan Vol 3) (Ulverscroft Large Print Series)

Part three of a five-part series. Filthy and unshaven, their clothes in rags, the garrison of Cawnpore hold out against the mutineers. They face certain death if the relieving force does not reach them in time. Alex Sheridan, of the East India Company's Bengal Cavalry, is one of the defenders; his young wife Emmy one of nearly four hundred women and children crowded into the shattered buildings. All the horror and the heroism of those terrible days is in this story of an unforgettable siege and its bloody outcome.
