In his preface, Rich writes, "since coming to the station I have heard many tales of massacres that are said to have taken place in Sialkot during the mutiny; of ghost stories connected with different bungalows and the Church; and have often been asked for further details. In trying to discover what actually did occur, I found that most of the information was contained in old records and book long since out of print and of which only one or two copies are still available".
