About The Book

These extracts from the personal journal of Sir James Outram (180363) which he kept while serving with the 23rd Regiment in the British Army of the Indus describe the British campaigns in Sindh and Afghanistan in 18389. In the preface to the book originally published in 1840 the author explains that his ''rough notes'' are not attempting a narrative of the military operations but have been printed ''for the perusal of valued friends''. The work begins in Sindh where the author joins the campaign that aims to restore Shah Shuja to the throne of Kabul the ultimately disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War. It is dedicated to Sir William Macnaghten who was later killed during negotiations with an Afghan chief. Outram himself later clashed with the Napier family over Sir William Napier''s account of the Conquest of Scinde and both books are also reissued in this series.
