A Missing Chapter of the Indian Mutiny is a historical book written by Charles Lionel Showers and first published in 1888. The book is a detailed account of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, a rebellion against British rule in India. The book focuses on the events that occurred in the city of Lucknow, which was a key battleground during the mutiny. It describes the siege of the British Residency in Lucknow, where a small group of British soldiers and civilians were surrounded by rebel forces for several months. Showers provides a vivid description of the conditions inside the Residency, including the shortage of food, water, and medical supplies. He also describes the heroic efforts of the defenders, who fought off repeated attacks by the rebels. The book also sheds light on the role played by Indian soldiers in the mutiny, both on the side of the rebels and the British. Showers provides a nuanced perspective on the complex political and social factors that led to the mutiny, including the resentment of Indian soldiers towards their British officers and the growing influence of Indian nationalism. Overall, A Missing Chapter of the Indian Mutiny is a valuable historical account of a pivotal moment in India's struggle for independence. It offers a detailed and nuanced perspective on the events of the mutiny, and provides insights into the complex political and social factors that shaped this important chapter in Indian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
