Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tippoo Sultaun: A Tale of the Mysore War
The leader was a man perhaps about fifty years of age; he rode a powerful Dekhan horse of great spirit, but whose usual fiery comportment was tamed by the severe exertion he had undergone, from the miry roads through which he had travelled the greater part of the day. Indeed he began to show evident symptoms of weariness, and extricated himself from every succeed ing muddy hollow - and they were very frequent - with less power. His handsome housings too were soiled with dirt and the figure of his rider, which merits some description, was splashed from head to foot.
