Indian Unrest - Paperback

by Valentine Chirol (Author)

He was the son of the Rev. Alexander Chirol and Harriet Chirol (nee Ashburnham). His education was mostly in France and Germany. Growing up in France with his parents, Chirol lived in the city of Versailles, where he also finished secondary school. In 1869, the young Chirol, already bilingual, moved to Germany, residing in a small town near Frankfurt am Main. By 1870, the Franco-Prussian War had broken out, which Chirol experienced from both sides. He returned to Paris in 1871, just in time to see the Germans enter Paris.
