Siege and relief of the legations in Peking lasting history
The narrative chronicles the siege of the foreign legations in Beijing during the Boxer uprising, detailing the defense led by Sir Claude MacDonald and G. Squires, the British fortress role, and the decisive relief expedition by a multinational force including American troops under Colonel Lissum and General Chaffee. It notes casualties, bombardment, and the eventual entry of the relief column, restoring contact with the Yamen and opening negotiations for settlement.
