Summary: "Three Accounts of Peterloo by Eyewitnesses" by Hylton, Smith, and Stanley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents first-hand accounts of the tragic event known as the Peterloo Massacre, which took place in 1819. The narratives from three distinct eyewitnesses illuminate the chaos and complexity of the day, aiming to provide an authentic representation of a pivotal moment in British history often marred by misrepresentation and misunderstanding. At the start of the book, the editor introduces the contributors and the significance of their accounts. The Rev. Edward Stanley narrates his observations during the gathering of thousands who were peacefully assembled in the hopes of petitioning for political reform. He describes the moment chaos erupted as cavalry charged into the crowd. Other accounts by Sir William Jolliffe, a military officer at the event, and John Benjamin Smith, a Manchester businessman, further elaborate on the scene from their unique perspectives, capturing the simultaneous confusion, fear, and tension as reformers faced brutal military action. These opening sections set the stage for a deep exploration of the circumstances surrounding the event, which profoundly impacted public sentiment towards governance and reform in Britain.
