Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : The local history of Poona and its battlefields by an army veteran is a rare work written in 1915. The importance of local history lies in the fact that it fills many gapes and uncovers and clarifies various micro aspects of history. It is a fascinating account of Poona and its battlefields, profusely illustrated for further in-depth study of the subject and equally interesting for the general readers. Knowing there must be many others far more knowledgeable than myself in these matters of local history, I venture on this subject with diffidence in the hope that, though an abler pen might have made more of it, and in spite of its possible faults, it may prove of interest to those whose lives are cast in this historic locality.
