Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outline of the Operations of the British Troops in Scinde and Affghanistan: Betwixt Nov; 1838 and Nov, 1841; With Remarks on the Policy of the War The following memoir was drawn up for the Bombay Times and Monthly Times newspapers: the former a bi-weekly print, chiefly read in India; the latter, for which it was principally intended, being published on the morning of the dispatch of the Overland Mail, and having much the greater part of its circulation in Europe. Various valuable narratives, giving accounts of the campaign of 1839, were published in the year 1840, the titles of which have been quoted as their pages have been referred to and drawn upon for the substance of the Second Chapter of the present volume. The writers of these treat, after their own fashion, of the events of which they were witnesses or sharers: Dr Kennedy confines himself to an account of the march of the Bombay column, which at first, for three months, pursued a different route from the Bengal portion of the army; until, reaching the mouth of the Bolan Pass, it afterwards followed the track of the leading column, although ten marches in its rear, until the whole assembled at Candahar on the 4th May, where the elements of the grand army were, for the first time, united. The march between this and Cabool furnishes common ground, which has been traversed by all the writers who describe the operations of Sir John Keane. Dr Kennedy retires with the Bombay force by the new route over the Toba mountains, to the southward of that which had been previously traversed, and brings the reader back through Sukkur with the last fragment of the force.
