The book Daily Life During the Indian Mutiny by John Walter Sherer provides a firsthand account of everyday life in India during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 (also known as the Indian Mutiny or First War of Independence). Sherer, a British civil servant, describes the experiences of British residents, soldiers, and Indian civilians during the violent uprising against British rule.
The book covers various aspects of daily existence, including the challenges of living under siege, interactions between British and Indian communities, and the impact of the rebellion on governance, trade, and social structures. It offers insights into the fears, hardships, and survival strategies of those caught in the conflict, making it a valuable resource for understanding both colonial and local perspectives.
