Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of British Generals Distinguished During the Peninsular War, Vol. 1 of 2 Many differences of Opinion will probably be ex pressed as to the judgment displayed in the present selection. Some readers may say, why is this General preferred, and that General omitted? The answer is, that it was necessary, to make a limit, and that the Work is offered, not as comprising the whole, but as merely a small cohort from the distinguished band. It will be easy to add to the list if more should be required. Fourteen generals of repute are included in this list. One only of the number was what may be termed old Sir Thomas Graham - and be was only sixty when he fought and Won, with marvellous promptitude and audacity, the Battle of Barrosa. The rest were in the prime vigour of their days, with strength and activity of body which seconded the energy of the mind. Without this happy combina tion of mental and physical attributes, the duties of a general in the field will hang heavily on him who has to perform them.

We have seen that want Of practice is not accompanied by any deficiency in noble daring. There is much in the career of Sir Thomas Picton for the young soldier to study with ad vantage. His rise was slow; he encountered many dif ficulties; he was the subject Of a violent persecution, which for a time cast a cloud upon his name and pros peets; by steady perseverance he surmounted Opposition.

Download or read book Memoirs of British Generals Distinguished in the Peninsular War written by John William Cole and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although biographies of Duke of Wellington abound, there few biographies of the generals that fought alongside him and executed his orders (or in some cases disobeyed them). The author John William Cole was well placed to provide the details of their lives being a long serving soldier in the British Army; his portraits are full of descriptive detail, without being too biased, he discusses the contentious issues as well as the victories they achieved. From the fiery, foul-mouthed Picton, respected but not loved by his men, to the quiet dignified “Daddy” Hill, who was adept at taking care of his own troops as well as surprising the French; the British generals were a diverse group worthy of individual attention that the author gave them. This volume chronicles the lives of No. VIII. — SIR THOMAS PICTON. No. IX. — LORD LYNEDOCH. No. IX. — EARL OF HOPETOUN. No. X. — LORD HILL. No. XII. — MAJOR-GENERAL LE MARCHANT. No. XII. — MAJOR-GENERAL ROSS. No. XIII. — SIR EDWARD PAKENHAM. Author – John William Cole (????-1870)

Download or read book The Naval War of 1812 written by Theodore Roosevelt and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naval War of 1812 by Theodore Roosevelt is a meticulously researched and detailed account of the naval battles and strategies during the War of 1812. Roosevelt's writing style is academic and authoritative, reflecting his extensive knowledge of naval history and his passion for the subject matter. By analyzing each engagement and its significance within the larger context of the war, Roosevelt provides readers with a deeper understanding of this often overlooked conflict in American history. His thorough examination of tactics, leadership, and consequences offers a comprehensive view of the naval aspects of the War of 1812. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts interested in naval warfare and its role in shaping historical events. As a prominent figure in American politics and a former President, Theodore Roosevelt's interest in military history and naval affairs is evident in The Naval War of 1812. His own experiences, including serving as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, likely influenced his decision to delve into this particular period of American naval history. Roosevelt's dedication to detail and commitment to accuracy make this book a significant contribution to the study of military history. I highly recommend The Naval War of 1812 to anyone seeking a comprehensive analysis of the naval conflicts during the War of 1812. Roosevelt's expertise and compelling narrative provide readers with a thorough examination of this important chapter in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naval War of 1812, written by the former president Theodore Roosevelt, deals with battles and naval technology used during the War of 1812 between the United States and the Great Britain. Roosevelt's history is considered as one of the best on this particular topic and it had a great impact on the formation of the modern day U.S. Navy. At the beginning, the author gives the insight of the political and social conditions in Great Britain and America prior to the war. Roosevelt, then, discusses the naval war on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Finally, the last chapter covers the Battle of New Orleans, the final major battle of the War of 1812.
