This book is a collection of letters written by Elisa F. Greathed and Hervey Harris Greathed, two British civilians who lived in India during the mid-19th century. The letters describe the Greatheds' experiences during the Siege of Delhi, a key battle in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. They offer unique insights into the social and political forces at work in India during this period, as well as into the experiences of ordinary individuals caught up in a momentous and tumultuous event.
