THE RECOLLECTIONS OF SKINNER OF SKINNER'S HORSE INDIA'S MOST FAMOUS CAVALRYMAN RECOUNTS HIS CAREER. James Skinner had a colourful career. He began his military exploits as a mercenary for Indian princes and became a legend as the leader of the 'Yellow Boys' - his renowned irregular cavalry. In the early years of the British domination of the sub-continent Skinner at some time fought almost every martial race India had to offer. These adventures (originally written in Persian) are clear and directly recounted and are supported by text by J. Baily Fraser who gives context to Skinners world.
