Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General John Jacob: Commandant of the Sind Irregular Horse and Founder of Jacobabad Mrs. Jacob, of Tavistock, has had the goodness to place at my disposal all the papers of her uncle, the late General Jacob. He had carefully preserved the letters of his correspondents, and from that mass of material, with the unpublished manuscripts, memoranda, and pamphlets printed for private circulation, the difficulty was to make a selection. I am deeply indebted to Sir Bartle Frere and his sisters for access to their father´s private letter-books; and I owe a special debt of gratitude to Major-General Sir Henry Green for invaluable information as to Sind affairs in general and the personality of his old friend and commandant, to whom he succeeded in the charge of the frontiers. Nor do my obligations end there, for almost all the portraits and illustrations are from engravings lent by Mrs. Jacob and Sir Bartle Frere and from photographs in the collection of Sir Henry Green. Most of the latter were taken by Dr. Henry Cook, who was attached to the Belooch mission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
