Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "William Grattan's first-hand account of his service through the key Napoleonic battles is a timeless classic. Fighting with a much-decorated regiment, he subaltern saw action in almost all of the great Peninsular War engagements." "In this memoir he depicts each battle from Busaco and Ciudad Rodrigo to Badajoz and Salamanca. He sets each confrontation in context, depicting daily life in compelling, vivid detail." "Grattan describes the clothing, equipment and rations of military camps. He describes tomfoolery, grumbles about contemporary commanders and records his encounters with the Duke of Wellington." "This account brings to life crucial years of the Napoleonic wars. Grattan's reminiscences are without doubt among the finest from the Peninsular era."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of the Connaught Rangers, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1808 to 1814 While engaged during the last ten years in the task of mastering the original authorities of the history of the Napoleonic wars, I have had to peruse many scores of diaries, autobiographies, and' reminiscences of the British military and naval officers who were engaged in the great struggle. They vary, of course, in interest and importance, in literary value, and in the power of vivid presentation of events. But they have this in common, that they are almost all very difficult to procure. Very few of them have been reprinted; indeed, I believe that the books of Lord Dundonald, Sir John Kincaid, Gleig, John Shipp, and Colonel Mercer are wellnigh the only ones which have passed through a second edition. Yet there are many others which contain matter of the highest interest, not only for the historical student but for every intelligent reader. From these I have made a selection of ten or a dozen which seem to me well worth republishing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Complete Adventures in the Connaught Rangers written by William Grattan and published by . This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famous account-two volumes complete in one book Grattan's account of his service with the famous 88th-The Connaught Rangers-the hardest fighting and possibly least appreciated regiment in Wellington's famous Peninsula Army fighting Napoleon's French, is well known and highly regarded by scholars and students of the Napoleonic Wars alike. For those who may be unfamiliar with it, this is a memoir full of incident and action, well written and charmingly enhanced by the many characterisations of and anecdotes about the irrepressible Irish soldiery who made up its ranks. This edition, at some 560 pages, should not be confused with edited versions in print; it is quite different. Grattan's account originally ran to two volumes and later editors have seen fit to considerably cut the text; had that editing only removed uninteresting, irrelevant or unentertaining material there would have been no purpose in this 'restored' edition. The Leonaur editors are pleased to offer the entire 'Adventures in the Connaught Rangers' unedited-both vital volumes in one edition for your enjoyment. Available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket for collectors.

Download or read book The Guitar in Georgian England written by Christopher Page and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating social history of the guitar, reasserting its long-forgotten importance in Romantic England This book is the first to explore the popularity and novelty of the guitar in Georgian England, noting its impact on the social, cultural, and musical history of the period. The instrument possessed an imagery as rich as its uses were varied; it emerged as a potent symbol of Romanticism and was incorporated into poetry, portraiture, and drama. In addition, British and Irish soldiers returning from war in Spain and Portugal brought with them knowledge of the Spanish guitar and its connotations of stylish masculinity. Christopher Page presents entirely new scholarship in order to place the guitar within a multifaceted context, drawing from recently digitized original source material. The Guitar in Georgian England champions an instrument whose importance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is often overlooked.

Download or read book Peninsular Eyewitnesses written by Charles Esdaile and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about the British struggle against Napoleon in the Peninsula. A few recent studies have given a broader view of the ebb and flow of a long war that had a shattering impact on Spain and Portugal and marked the history of all the nations involved. But none of these books has concentrated on how these momentous events were perceived and understood by the people who experienced them. Charles Esdaile has brought together a vivid selection of contemporary accounts of every aspect of the war to create a panoramic yet minutely detailed picture of those years of turmoil. The story is told through memoirs, letters and eyewitness testimony from all sides. Instead of generals and statesmen, we mostly hear from less-well-known figures - junior officers and ordinary soldiers and civilians who recorded their immediate experience of the conflict.
