London. Macmillan. 1907. Stock ID #70648 "A very readable version, or rather versions, of the events in Kanpur, based on the Depositions of 63 witnesses taken by Colonel Williams Police Commissioner of NWP, plus a narrative by Nanak Chand, plus Mowbray Thomson's account, plus the official narratives.
