BUSH, MICHAEL. — The Casualties of Peterloo.

Lancaster: Carnegie Publishing Ltd, 2005. 9781859361252. 1st edition. "When the cavalry charged to disperse the huge crowd assembled to discuss parliamentary reform on St Peter's Field, over 600 people were injured, some 15 of them dying of their wounds. Was this a massacre? Or, as historians are inclined to think, were most of the injuries accidentally caused by the crush of the fleeing crowd? A detailed analysis of the eight surviving lists of tose killed and injured allows Michael Bush to answer these questions with fresh insight, new information and finality."
