General John Jacob

General John Jacob: Commandant of the Sind Irregular Horse and Founder of Jacobabad (1900) is a biographical account of the life and career of General John Jacob, a British military officer who served in India during the 19th century. Written by Alexander Innes Shand, the book details Jacob's role as the founder of the city of Jacobabad, which he established as a military outpost in the remote region of Sind. The book also examines Jacob's leadership of the Sind Irregular Horse, a cavalry regiment that he trained and commanded during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Through Shand's detailed research and analysis, readers are given a comprehensive understanding of Jacob's contributions to the British Empire's military campaigns in India, as well as his lasting impact on the region through his founding of Jacobabad. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British colonialism in India, as well as military history and leadership.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
