Language: English
Preface: y
Overview: The book is an edited version (editor: Garrett HLO) of Cunningham's book that was first published in 1849. Cunningham spent 8 years among Sikhs.  His book is considered an accurate account.  His book "told the whole truth-the unpalatable truth, regarding the first Sikh war; it exposed the real strength of the Sikh army; the conduct of, and the negotiations with, the Sikh chiefs...But a despotic Government cannot endure truths which seem to reflect on the justice of its policy.  Looking at the policy of annexation from the basis of Cunningham's book, that policy was undoubtedly unjust." Cunningham's book covers the gurus and other religions and the history of the Punjab from around AD 800 and the surrounding states that came under Sikh control or influence.  It covers the period of Ranjit Singh and his battles with the Brits through to around 1846. There are many appendices that present treaties and information about GGS and DG scriptures, and a variety of other information.
