Several regimental histories were in consequence compiled by the late Mr. Richard Cannon, when Principal Clerk of the Adjutant-General's Office, and published, in the first instance, under the patronage of King William the Fourth, and afterwards of Her Majesty the Queen. Upon Mr. Cannon's retirement, after a lengthened official career of upwards of half a century, the Adjutant-General, in consequence of my having assisted that gentleman in preparing these Records, recommended me to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury as the future Editor, but it was decided that they should not be continued.

Excerpt: ...and forcibly described the qualities, which are most valuable in a military body. "These," he says, "are not bravery "alone, but patience and hardship, obedience to com"mand, sobriety, firmness and resolution in every dif"ferent situation in which they may be placed. It is tl by the display of such qualities alone, that the army "can expect to deserve the name of soldiers; that they "can be able to withstand the forces opposed to them, "or to fulfil the expectations of their country." From any participation in the excesses which were committed, the 26th or Cameronian Regiment appear to have been singularly free, as one man only was punished; and he, though taken in company with others, was supposed, from being somewhat idiotic, to have been a spectator rather than a sharer in the plunder. On the 31st of December, the Regiment quitted Astorga on its march to Lugo. At this time, Sir John Moore's despatch showed that the hope of disputing the passes of the mountains, which afforded positions of great strength, as expressed in his correspondence with Romana, was finally relinquished; for, besides the de 1808. struction of the ammunition and stores collected there, lst the sick were abandoned, and he stated, "we must all "make forced marches to the coast from the scarcity of "provisions, and to be before the enemy, who by roads "upon our flanks may otherwise intercept us." He added, "I hope to find upon the coast transports for the "embarkation of the troops." Under these discouraging circumstances, the retreat was continued to Lugo. Shortly after the British evacuated Astorga, Napoleon arrived, and was joined by Marshal Soult. The whole French army that...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions the universal belief that England's 1840-42 war with China was an 'Opium War'. What really worried London was 'insults to the crown', the claim of a dilapidated and corrupt China to be superior to everyone, threats to British men and women and seizure of British property, plus the wish to expand and free trade everywhere. It was only much later that general Chinese resentment and Evangelical opinion at home - and in America - persuaded everyone that Britain had indeed been wicked and fought for opium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A well-organized and concise introduction to the war’s major battles” (The Journal of America’s Military Past). Winner of the Gold Star Book Award for History from the Military Writers Society of America This is the first comprehensive account of every engagement of the Revolution, a war that began with a brief skirmish at Lexington Green on April 19, 1775, and concluded on the battlefield at the Siege of Yorktown in October 1781. In between were six long years of bitter fighting on land and at sea. The wide variety of combats blanketed the North American continent from Canada to the Southern colonies, from the winding coastal lowlands to the Appalachian Mountains, and from the North Atlantic to the Caribbean. Every entry begins with introductory details including the date of the battle, its location, commanders, opposing forces, terrain, weather, and time of day. The detailed body of each entry offers both a Colonial and a British perspective of the unfolding military situation, a detailed and unbiased account of what actually transpired, a discussion of numbers and losses, an assessment of the consequences of the battle, and suggestions for further reading. Many of the entries are supported and enriched by original maps and photos.
