Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Life in the Far East Why, or by whom, this incident was so called I have never heard. The site where it occurred was not then, nor has it since been known by that name. In a book recently published by a Shanghai resident it is said it was because the fight took place under the city walls and in mud ankle deep, but the scene of the action was not under the city walls, and the ground was perfectly dry. In Mr. Maclellan´s "Story of Shanghai" it is stated that the affair was over in two hours, but it really occupied more than twenty-four hours, having commenced on the afternoon of the 3rd, and terminated on the evening of the 4th of April, 1854. As the above allusions, and others that have from time to time appeared in the local papers and elsewhere, show that there is a general misconception as to many of the facts connected with the incident, it may perhaps be of interest to the present residents of Shanghai if I, who happened to be a participant in it from binning to end, give my recollections in regard to it; and I hope I shall be pardoned if the narration is made up largely of my own personal experiences, and of what came under my own observation, as of these I am best qualified to speak.
