The Magnus Archives
The Taiping Rebellioner
Statement of 2nd Lieutenant Charles Fleming regarding his experiences during the Taiping Rebellion. Original statement, undated, but apparently written in early 1862. Audio recording by Jonathan Sims, head archivist of the Magnus Institute, London. Statement begins: "How can one have poetically chays for a massacre? How can unspeakable carnage become so tired and repetitive?" It's an all war like a nightmare. All I remember is waking up to the screaming of men buckling under the weight of metal,. The dreadful curse that dragged us towards the bottom of the Canton River," it ends.
