Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Graves continues the fictionalized account of the adventures of Sergeant Robert Lamb, an Irish soldier who fought for the British during the American Revolutionary War. Featuring a new introduction by Madison Smartt Bell. Sergeant Roger Lamb is in a prison camp near Boston with 3,000 other soldiers in General Johnny Burgoyne's army who surrendered at the Battle of Saratoga. Lamb is a non-commissioned officer in the British Army who served in America during the American War of Independence. But the American Congress refuses to ratify a repatriation agreement and Lamb plans an escape. He manages to make his way through General Washington's lines and rejoins Cornwallis in the Carolinas, fighting with him until Yorktown. Then he makes another remarkable escape to rejoin the British in New York. The second in a two-book series, this account is inspired by the real-life Sergeant Lamb’s personal memoirs. Renowned poet, classicist, and novelist Robert Graves traces the sergeant’s harrowing time in military service, providing a compelling, only barely fictionalized eyewitness account of a crucial point in American history.

Download or read book Sergeant Lamb of the Ninth written by Robert Graves and published by Carcanet Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Sergeant Roger Lamb, a young Dubliner who had served the Royal Welsh Fusiliers during the American War of Independence was the subject of a novelistic enterprise originally published in two parts because of war time paper shortages. The final result is a pair of picaresque novels concerned with the passions and frustrations of a distant war which mirrored many of Graves' own feelings for World War II which was happening around him. As an account of the struggle for independence, the horrors and excitements of war, the two novels were well reviewed and popular when published in the early 1940s. This chance to have both parts of what Graves considered to be a single project in one volume offers the opportunity of access to a literary and historical creation which both opens up the world of the American War of Independence, and the creative life and mind of a great writer of the 20th century.

Download or read book Sergeant Lamb's America written by Robert Graves and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of I, Claudius “recounts, in faithful and nicely atmospheric detail” the story of a British soldier during the American Revolution (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The first in a two-book series, Sergeant Lamb’s America tells the story of Sgt. Roger Lamb, an Irish soldier who served on the British side during the American War of Independence. Based on real historical events and people, Sergeant Lamb recounts the British defeat and the capture of his unit at the Battle of Saratoga in a voice that’s both funny, insightful, and wise. This fictionalized account is based on the journals of the historical Sergeant Roger Lamb, and is largely faithful to the true eyewitness account of the American Revolution told from the loser’s perspective. With his engaging, personable voice and basic decency of character, Sergeant Lamb reminds us that regardless of how history casts the British side, there were good men on both sides of this important conflict. “It is a historical novel for which one has a very real respect.” —The New York Times

Download or read book Sergeant Lamb & His Regiments - A Recollection and History of the American War of Independence with the 9th Foot & Royal Welsh Fuzileers written by Roger Lamb and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Lamb's war in America plus two regimental histories Every published recollection written by a soldier-irrespective of the time and conflict in which he served-is of inestimable value to posterity and to the historians and students that read them. Some achieve particular recognition . They may be particularly well written, some are especially rare in their subject material or particularly riveting in the tale they tell. Some, despite all of these considerations of quality being present, nevertheless, remain obscure. This account by Roger Lamb of his time serving as a British infantryman in America during the American War of Independence (American Revolution)may well be said to owe its enduring renown to the fact that the author and central character was adopted by the author and poet, Robert Graves ( 'I, Claudius') for two novels written during the early 1940's. The actual Roger Lamb's military career which inspired Graves and is recounted in these pages was certainly full of incident and interest. He served in the Saratoga Campaign of 1777 and The Campaign of 1781 in the Carolinas to Virginia. He was captured and escaped twice. What makes this Leonaur edition of note for readers of military history is that Lamb's account is accompanied by two regimental history extracts by Richard Cannon which cover the period of Lamb's service in the 9th Regiment of Foot and The Royal Welsh Fuzileers-as they were named at the time. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

This book is sure to be riveting to students of Jewish or Judeo-Christian history, culture, and religion.

Download or read book They Hanged My Saintly Billy written by Robert Graves and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of I, Claudius tells the tale of a notorious nineteenth-century poisoner: “A must for true-crime addicts” (Kirkus Reviews). A self-confessed forger, cheat, thief, and petty criminal, William Palmer was also a surgeon and a racehorse owner during the Victorian era who doped horses, fixed races, philandered unapologetically, and generally behaved as an all-around rogue. But the crime for which he was condemned was altogether more serious: poisoning numerous members of his family as well as a close friend. Based on the historic trial of a man characterized as a sociopath and a serial killer, Robert Graves tells the story of a man who was deeply flawed but ultimately not beyond redemption. They Hanged My Saintly Billy is brimming with humor, emotion, and social commentary. Told through the eyes of both friends and enemies, Palmer comes to life as a not-unsympathetic antihero.

Download or read book Women, Families and the British Army 1700–1880 written by Jennine Hurl-Eamon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series concentrates on women and the soldiers in the ranks whose lives they shared, assembling a wide body of evidence of their romantic entanglements and domestic concerns. The new military history of recent decades has demanded a broadening of the source base beyond elite accounts or those that concentrate solely on battlefield experiences. Armies did not operate in isolation, and men’s family ties influenced the course of events in a variety of ways. Campfollowing women and children occupied a liminal space in campaign life. Those who travelled "on the strength" of the army received rations in return for providing services such as laundry and nursing, but they could also be grouped with prostitutes and condemned as a ‘burden’ by officers. Parents, wives, and offspring left behind at home remained in soldiers’ thoughts, despite an army culture aimed at replacing kin with regimental ties. Soldiers’ families’ suffering, both on the march and back in Britain, attracted public attention at key points in this period as well. This series provides, for the first time in one place, a wide body of texts relating to common soldiers’ personal lives: the women with whom they became involved, their children, and the families who cared for them. It brings hitherto unpublished material into print for the first time, and resurrects accounts that have not been in wide circulation since the nineteenth century. The collection combines the observations of officers, government officials and others with memoirs and letters from men in the ranks, and from the women themselves. It draws extensively on press accounts, especially in the nineteenth century. It also demonstrates the value of using literary depictions alongside the letters, diaries, memoirs and war office papers that form the traditional source base of military historians. This first volume covers the period up to the outbreak of war with revolutionary France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Fadó, long forgotten about episodes from Irish history are presented in easy to follow short chapters. Who was Crom Cruach and what are Holy Wells? Who were the priest catchers and why were corpses stolen? How did a Cork woman become a feared pirate of the Caribbean and why is William Melville not loved by all in his native county? For such a small island, Ireland has history and archaeology in abundance and much of this is often only known to people in the locality. The author has travelled the island extensively and researched long forgotten characters and events, some of whom are stranger than fiction. Irish men and women of all hues and generations are examined here as the reader is guided through a land of heroes and villains, saints and scholars, pestilence and prosperity. Fadó is a book that can be read with ease and the author’s passion for his subject is infectious. It is a must read for anyone interested in Irish history.
