Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Nicholson, Soldier and Administrator: Based on Private and Hitherto Unpublished Documents Forty years ago Brigadier-General John Nicholson vanished like a meteor from the scene of his gloriously brief career. Since then his heroic figure has marched across many a page of commemorative print, from the careful narratives of Cave-Browne and Kaye down to the most brilliant of Mrs. Steele's romances. "The heroic Nicholson" is the title by which the men of his own generation love to speak of the young soldier-statesman who led his stormers against fearful odds into the central stronghold of the great Sepoy rebellion in 1857. History, gossip, and prose fiction have busied themselves with the deeds and character of John Nicholson; and numerous legends, well invented but more or less untrue, have grown up around his name. How is it, by the way, that no English poet of any mark has commemorated the fall of Delhi, that master-incident in the story of the great Mutiny? Tennyson has glorified the defence of Lucknow, and Gerald Massey has sung of Havelock's march and Sir William Peel. But the siege and storming of Delhi have remained unsung, except by Mr. Charles Kelly of the Indian Civil Service, and one or two other forgotten poets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Irishman, like so many other great British generals, John Nicholson received a cadetship in the Bengal Infantry at the age of sixteen. Apart from one short visit to England, the rest of his life was spent in India. The Afghan and Sikh wars of the eighteen-forties brought out the titanic powers of a character that “flowered in action,” and before he was thirty, “Nikal Seyn” was a legend throughout India, a god to the Sikhs and to certain fakirs who called themselves Nikal-seynites, and a thorn in the side of incompetent and idle officials of the British Government. In an unquiet country where quick movement was the secret of military success against an elusive enemy, Nicholson’s energy, even more than his absolute personal courage, was the factor that made him the most powerful instrument of British policy in India. Passionately sincere, arrogantly self-confident, insubordinate without remorse when he saw cause, and always in the right, Nicholson provoked no ordinary emotions. He was loved, admired, feared, envied, and hated in the most violent degree. The climax of his career was the Indian Mutiny. Very seldom in history have the man and the task matched each other so notably. “Mutiny is like small-pox,” he said. “It spreads quickly and must be crushed at once.” Not all his superiors thought the same, but when he had freed himself from the trammels of authority he saved the Punjab, and so India, by sheer exertion. It is a breathless story of march, surprise, and counter-march, thrusting quickly into the hills and as quickly back to Peshawar, the danger-spot. When that situation was under control he marched to Delhi, where his arrival transformed the rôle of the British troops from besieged to assaulters. The assault succeeded but cost Nicholson his life. He was thirty-four years old, a general, and “the idol of all soldiers.”

CHAPTER VII THE PUNJAB IN 1847 John NICHOLSON entered upon his new career at an auspicious moment, for all associated with Henry Lawrence in the work of teaching Sikh and Muhammadan officers some plain, elementary lessons of good government. The men designed for that mission were all picked men, taken from the Company's service; men who were destined to leave some mark on the pages of Anglo-Indian history. Well might Lawrence, writing afterwards to Kaye, account himself fortunate in such assistants as George Lawrence, Edwardes, Nicholson, Reynell Taylor, Harry Lumsden, Lake, James Abbott, Cocks, Hodson, Pollock, Bowring, 'all of whom, ' he adds, 'were my friends, and almost everyone of whom was introduced into the Punjab through me. . . . Each was a good man; the most were excellent officers. My chief help, however, was in my brother John, without whom I should have had difficulty in carrying on.' It was John indeed who, during Henry's absence at Simla, had compelled the reluctant Lahore Darbar to provide the troops which his brother led into Kashmir1. On more 1 Kaye, Indian Officers; Bosworth Smith, Life of Lord Lawrence. than one occasion afterwards John was to fill his brother's place at Lahore, as ably as he filled his own at Jalandhar. In short, as Henry himself declared, 'in various ways John Lawrence was most useful, and gave me always such help as only a brother could.' On February 7, 1847, Nicholson left Kashmir, 'crossing 8i feet of snow in the Punch Pass.' On his arrival at Ramnagar, a town on the Chinab river within six marches of Lahore, he received instructions from the Resident to proceed to Multan, and thence to Dera Ghazi Khan on the right bank of the Indus. During this journey, which extended over two months, he reported..
