Summary "Cawnpore" by George Otto Trevelyan is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the events surrounding the violent upheaval at Cawnpore during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, focusing on the tensions between British colonial forces and local sepoy troops. Trevelyan's exploration is rich in details, particularly regarding the complexities of colonial power dynamics and human relationships in a time of growing unrest." "The opening of "Cawnpore" introduces the geographical and historical context of Cawnpore, emphasizing its significance as a military station and detailing the diverse population comprising British soldiers, civilians, and native troops. Trevelyan sets the stage for the looming crisis by discussing the uneasy state of relations between these groups, highlighting the underlying tensions festering among the sepoys. As the narrative unfolds, there are hints at unrest due to a combination of various grievances, including rumors about greased cartridges and other perceived insults to religious faiths, laying the groundwork for the insurrection that is to come."
