Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir James Outram´s Persian Campaign in 1857 Comprising The Despatches and Correspondence relating to the Campaign in Persia form a companion volume to those illustrative of Sir James Outram´s operations daring the Sepoy war. They have been reprinted for precisely the same reasons; and, as in the case of his Lucknow papers, their circulation is limited to Sir James´s personal friends and comrades. In these despatches the story of the campaign is told as it were day by day. As, however, some slight lacunoe occur here and there, and the events of the Persian war have been almost forgotten in the enthralling interest of the Indian mutiny, there is prefixed a slight resumé of the war; which, though of short duration, threatened at one time very serious complications with our late Crimean antagonist. Owing, however, to the energy of our troops, both European and Native, the Shah was compelled to succumb, and our hands were fortunately freed. Fortunately, as we may say ; for the ratifications of the treaty had scarcely been exchanged, when every soldier that England could collect was required in India to suppress the Mutiny. When the Persian assault on Herat compelled the Home Government to declare war on the Shah, the Government of Bombay was called on to effect a descent on the Persian coast, and to Sir James Outram, then at home, was given the chief command of the expedition. Such activity was displayed by Lord Elphinatone (repeated allusions to which will be found in the accompanying letters) that the expedition had started before the new Commander-in-Chief could reach India, and it had effected a landing near Buahire on the 9th December, 1856; whence General Stalker, the temporary Commander, marched to attack the Persians, who had collected in considerable force.
