Hundreds of men and civilians were pressed into the K: service, many of whom were taken i'uthlt from vessels they partly owned and comman Indeed, there was no distinction. The pressg: captured everybody, irrespective of whether were officers, common able seamen, or boys say nothing of those who had no sea experie Both my own grandfathers and two of great uncles were kidnapped from their ve: and their families into the navy, and after H years of execrable treatment, hard fighting, wounds, they landed back into their ho broken men, with no better prospect thar begin life anew. It was natural that the nume pressed men should detest the ruffianly n catchers and their employers, if not the ser they were forced into, and that they would m the wrong which had been done to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drama of Saint Helena If I did not mention Count de Montholon's letter to his countess, I refrained from doing so because it was quite useless to quote it, since, as I have just shown, I myself admit all that letter admits. In so short a book as this it is impossible to relate every thing. But my adversaries may rest assured that I am keeping numerous points in reserve, and that I shall have an answer ready for all their attacks. To give them a single example, should they consider inadequate the evidence - weighty enough, one might think - which I hereafter adduce for the frequency of hepatitis at Saint Helena between 1815 and 1821, I will bring to light an unpublished document so conclusive that even they will be compelled to recognise its value, and to own themselves beaten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedy of St. Helena In my early sea-life, I used to listen to the eccentric and complicated views expressed by a race of seamen long since passed away. Occasionally there were amongst the crew one or two who had the true British hypothetical belief in the demoniacal character of Napoleon, but this was not the general view of the men with whom I sailed; and after the lapse of many years, I often wonder how it came about that such definite partiality in regard to this wonderful being could have been formed, and the conclusion that impresses me most is, that his many acts of kindness to his own men, the absence of flogging and other debasing treatment in his own service, his generosity and consideration for the comfort of British prisoners during the wars, his ultimate defeat by the combined forces of Europe, the despicable advantage they took of the man who was their superior in everything, and to whom in other days the allied Kings had bent in homage, had become known to the English sailors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Tragedy of St. Helena' is a book that covers the events that led up to Napoleon Bonaparte's interment in St. Helena, a British Overseas Territory and the subsequent events that followed until his body was reburied in France. He was exiled there by the British government in 1821, following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, and not long after being under custody of the British, died at the island. Later, the French government of Louis Philippe I requested that Napoleon's remains be repatriated to France and, on 15 October 1840, his body was exhumed and later reburied at the Invalides in Paris, in an event known as the Retour des cendres.

Download or read book Terrible Exile written by Brian Unwin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its height, the Napoleonic Empire spanned much of mainland Europe. Feted and feared by millions of citizens, Napoleon was the most powerful and famous man of his age. But following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo the future of the one-time Emperor of France seemed irredeemably bleak. How did the brilliant tactician cope with being at the mercy of his captors? How did he react to a life in exile on St Helena - and how did the other inhabitants of that isolated and impregnable island respond to his presence there? And what tactics did he develop to preserve his legacy in such drastically reduced circumstances? Tracing events from the dramatic defeat at Waterloo to his death six years later, this is the first modern comprehensive account of the last phase of Napoleon's life. Drawing on many previously overlooked journals and letters, Brian Unwin has pieced together a remarkably vivid account of Napoleon's final years which also offers fresh insights into the character of this giant of European history. Through his initial flight from the battlefield and his journey into exile on St Helena, Napoleon refused to accept that he would not be allowed to return to somewhere in Europe or even America. He railed against every aspect of his imprisonment and conspired to make life as difficult as possible for his unfortunate jailer, Hudson Lowe, whose impossible situation is sympathetically described here. Confined with him in the damp and confined Longwood House, life was also uncomfortable for those loyal companions who chose to journey with him into exile. Unsurprisingly for such a man of action, Napoleon bitterly resented being under constant supervision when he ventured outside his house and suffered acutely from boredom as much as from his physical ailments. Contrary to the strict wishes of the English he refused to accept any diminution in his status: 'Je ne suis pas le General Bonaparte, je suis L'Empereur Napoleon.' But gradually Napoleon came to think less about escape and more about how he would be remembered by future generations, spending hour after hour dictating the story of his campaigns to Count Las Cases, the companion who had travelled with him chiefly to act as his amanuensis. Terrible Exile brilliantly evokes the claustrophobic atmosphere of life on St Helena, offering a colourful and original history of the period as well as a persuasive psychological portrait of a great man in reduced circumstances. It will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in Napoleonic history and is an important addition to our understanding of the subject.
