Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This previously unknown collection of letters lets us experience colonial British Columbia through the eyes of a young British naval officer who spent three years on Vancouver Island commanding a Royal Navy gunboat during the Cariboo gold rush. A keen observer of life in the new world, Edmund Hope Verney corresponded on a regular basis with his father, a prominent British MP. In his letters, which are filled with lively narration and description, candid commentary, and fascinating personal detail, he talks about having 'the opportunity to observe a colony in [its first] stage of existence' and to 'watch the development of a community.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume IV of VI Best edition of the standard work (with analytical index in Vol. VI) Contemporary review from the Athenaeum: "It only be remarked that Colonel Malleson wields his pen with so much skill that while giving a realistic account of all important operations, passing over no really noteworthy act of talent or heroism, and acutely criticising everything which demands criticism, he abstains from overlaying his narrative with details which would have increased the bulk of his book beyond all reason. Another characteristic of Colonel Malleson is that he never hesitates to condemn conduct of which he disapproves or to draw attention to errors which he conceives were committed, whatever the rank or position of those who are the objects of his criticism. The result is that many of the actors in the drama will find their laurels somewhat injured, while others, who from official prejudice have not yet received full credit for their exploits, obtain from the author due praise for their services. The rewards given for the Mutiny were liberal, but it is distressing to find that some of them were undeserved, while on the other hand, many able and gallant men have received no recognition at all ... There are many highly-placed officials whose fame is sadly tarnished by the frank, truthful criticisms of the fearless, uncompromising author of the book before us."

Download or read book Naval Cadet With Hms Shannon OS Brigade in India written by Naval & Military Press and published by . This book was released on 2002-07 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of this Journal by Naval Cadet Edward S. Watson was unknown to Commander W. B. Rowbotham R. N. when he edited the definitive work The Naval Brigades in the Indian Mutiny 1857-58 for the Navy Records Society in 1947.Whilst Major-General G. L. Verney made cosiderable use of Cadet Watson s Letters to his mother in his story of H.M.S. Shannnon s Naval Brigade, published in The Devil s Wind , this Cadet s Journal - covering the entire period this particular Naval Brigade was ashore - does not feature in his Bibliography.Captain Oliver J. Jones R.N., who served in the Indian Mutiny as a Volunteer with the 53rd Regiment, makes reference to the author of this Cadet s Journal in his Recollections of a Winter Campaign in India 1857-58 with the remarks that: Peel s two aides-de-camp, two fine little mids about 15 years old - Lascelles and Watson - by name, who used to stick to him like his shadow, under whatever fire he went, and seemed perfectly indifferent to the whizzing of bullets or the plunging of cannon-balls. He might also have added that Lascelles was nearly a foot taller than the somewhat diminutive figure of Watson, who stood only 4 feet 5 inches in height.Edward Spencer Watson, born in Rockingham Castle, Northants., joined the service aged 13 years as a Naval Cadet aboard H.M.S. Shannon on 11 September 1856.Promoted to Midshipman exactly two years later prior to his temporary appointment to H.M.S. Victory when Shannon was paid off on 15 January 1859.After serving five months aboard H.M.S. Royal Albert he was sent to H.M.S. St. George in June 1860 with the rank of Acting Sub Lieutenant, but resigned his Commission in the Royal Navy on 6 April 1863.He then transferred his allegiance to the Army, becoming a Cornet in the 10th (Prince of Wales s Own Regiment) Hussars with seniority of 12 June 1863 - receiving promotion to Lieutenant on 13 July 1867, but in the Spring of 1873 he resigned his Army Commission. He died in 1889.
