Book Description
About the Book
The book contains direct and simple account of the Indian Mutiny, down to the Taking of Delhi, as set forth in extracts from Colonel Keith Young's diaries, in letters from friend's both in India and in England, in official letters and telegrams, but principally in a series of daily letters written to his wife. The first mention of the rumor of a mutinous spirit shown by the Native soldiers is given in an extract from the diary, dated the 24th February 1857, with which the first chapter begins. Col. Keith Youngs' letters to his wife, which commence on the 25th of May, follow each other, without especially distinctive headings, in almost daily succession till the end of the volume. Col. H.B. Henderson's letters from London are placed together at the end of each month.

The present volume also includes a Condensed Diary of the principal events of the Siege, a glossary, an Index to Regiments and Corps, and a general Index which enhances the value of the book.

Preface
THE motive that leads me to publish my Husband's Letters and Diaries is the desire that his children and friends may be able to read them. At first it was intended to print these papers for private circulation only, but now it is thought best to publish them, for, though a number of years-over forty-have passed since the great Indian Mutiny of 1857-58, many still live who took an active part in the brave Endeavour to quell it and restore right and order; and many others, either connected with India or having friends who were in the country during that troubled time, still take a deep interest in those years of anxiety and suffering, followed by righteous retribution. The Index and the Map of India have been specially prepared by my daughter, Mrs. Inglis, whose work of subediting her father's letters has been a labor of love.
