By G. A. Henty Author of "With Moore at Corunna," "At Agincourt," "The Dash for Khartoum," "Through the Sikh War," etc.
Published entirely in English.
A most colorfully bound work, in which the author bears witness to what it was like to be a soldier under the command of the Duke of Wellington, a British character who earned his titles of nobility by having led His Majesty's army against that led by Napoleon and his generals. The plans and illustrations in the text give the reader a glimpse of this reality.
Good condition of contents.
