Publisher's Synopsis
Zeinab, the Panjabi: A story founded on facts by Rev. Elwood Morris Wherry The village of Gunahpur had a history of unusual interest. Years ago it was ruled over by a Hindu chief of great renown. Many a time he had led his brave followers through the stately portals, and gone forth to carry terror into the hearts of his Moslem neighbors. On his return the young men and boys, too young to bear sword and shield, would greet their triumphant townsmen with shouts from the embattlements on their walls. The village bards with pipe and tambourine would gather at the palace-door and sing the praises of their chief. The young women would go to the well on the Common and with firmer tread carry home the accustomed store of water. The tinkling of their anklets seemed to voice their sense of security under so noble a defender.
