Synopsis "The Captivity, Sufferings, and escape of James Scurry, Who was detained a prisoner during ten years, in the dominions of Hyder Ali and Tippoo Saib (in English)"
"The Captivity, Sufferings, And Escape Of James Scurry" is a memoir written by James Scurry. The book chronicles his experiences as a prisoner of war for ten years in India during the late 18th century, in the dominions of Hyder Ali and Tippoo Saib, who were rulers of Mysore. Scurry, who was a British soldier, was captured by Hyder Ali's army during a battle in 1780. He was subsequently imprisoned and subjected to harsh treatment and torture. The book also recounts Scurry's daring escape from captivity, which he accomplished with the help of some sympathetic Indian people. He eventually made his way back to British-controlled territory and returned to England. But, how was his escape successful? "The Captivity, Sufferings, And Escape Of James Scurry" is a poignant account of one man's struggle to survive in extreme circumstances. Scurry's story offers valuable insight into the complex history of British colonialism in India and the experiences of those who were affected by it. The book is an important historical document and a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.
