Lucknow siege recalled by divine preacher in round the world sermons
Rev Dr Talmage recalls the Lucknow siege of 1857 with an eyewitness soldier at the residency, detailing five months of bombardment hunger and disease, Havelock and Outram relief, and the heroism and faith of defenders and civilians. He honors Sir Henry Lawrence and Henry Havelock, urges mercy in war, and closes with a call to England to honor its heroes at home.
