Two Months In Arrah In 1857 is a historical account written by John James Halls, originally published in 1860. The book provides a vivid description of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, specifically the Siege of Arrah, which took place in Bihar, India. Halls was a British civil servant who was stationed in Arrah during the rebellion and witnessed the violence and chaos that ensued. The book begins with a brief background of the political and social climate in India leading up to the rebellion. Halls then goes on to describe the events leading up to the Siege of Arrah, including the massacre at Patna, and the subsequent siege itself. He provides a detailed account of the fighting, the tactics used by both sides, and the eventual relief of the besieged British civilians and soldiers.Throughout the book, Halls also gives insight into the cultural and religious beliefs of the Indian people, as well as the attitudes and prejudices of the British towards them. He also includes anecdotes about the people he encountered during his time in Arrah, both British and Indian.Overall, Two Months In Arrah In 1857 is a valuable historical document that provides a firsthand account of a significant event in Indian history. It offers a unique perspective on the rebellion and sheds light on the complexities of the relationship between the British and Indian people during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
