"Through the Sikh War: A Tale of the Conquest of the Punjaub"* By G. A. Henty.
The picture of the Punjab during its last few years of independence, the description of the battles on the Sutlej, and the portraiture generally of native character, seem admirably true.... On the whole, you may never read a more vivid and faithful narrative of military adventure in India.
To understand why India became part of the British Empire is to have read this account by G. A. Henty of the conquest of the Punjab, where the writer has placed before us scenes where true courage and bravery abound. It is a volume that all Boys, who admire what is true and noble, will positively revel in. It would be impossible to praise too highly the tone which is preserved throughout.
*Note: The older spellings of Indian words such as 'Punjaub' for 'Punjab', 'Hindoo' for 'Hindu', etc., has been maintained as per the original Scribner's Sons publication of 1902.
******
* With Twelve Illustrations by Hal Hurst, and a Map, as seen the Charles Scribner's Sons publication of 1902.
