This section takes us through Agra and the North Western Provinces, Oudh and Rohilkhand, but without the additions of Lucknow and Cawnpore, which will be listed separately.

Author, Title and Publisher	Notes
(J. F. F.) Mariam: A Story of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, by One of the Survivors. Benares: Chandraprabha Press Co., Ltd, 1896.	This book tells the story of Mariam Lavater & her daughter, who were taken captive after the mutiny at Shajahanpore. As the author, who remains anonymous, states he spoke to Mariam herself and was himself a survivor of the massacre, the book still reads as a semi-fictional account. However, with so few descriptions of the Shajahanpore massacre available, that alone makes it work pursuing.
