AbstractHistoryArchive Description

India in 1857 and a major's kindness to a native boy being beaten by English soldiers is amply rewarded when the boy's self-sacrificing sally to bring help saves them from death in the Sepoy mutiny. The boy uses strategy to outwit the sepoys at risk of his own life. Includes officer's wife's request for a pistol to prevent herself falling into their hands. (PB)
