| Summary | "A Diary Kept by Mrs. R. C. Germon, at Lucknow, Between the Months of May and December, 1857," is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The diary details the tumultuous and harrowing experiences of Mrs. Germon during the siege of Lucknow amid the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The narrative provides personal insights into the lives of families and military personnel as they confront the threats and unrest that characterized this historical moment. The opening of the diary introduces readers to the tense atmosphere surrounding Lucknow just prior to the siege. Mrs. Germon recounts her daily life, filled with anxiety over the emerging violence following alarming news from nearby regions. The writing captures her interactions with friends and family, the preparations for potential attacks, and her concern for her husband, who is actively engaged in military duties. As the situation escalates, it becomes evident that Mrs. Germon’s ordinary routine is overshadowed by the unfolding crisis, setting the stage for a gripping chronicle of resilience and survival under extreme duress.
