HELENA Journal Of General Baron Gourgaud From The Day After The Battle Of Waterloo, June 19, 1815, To The Arr1val Of Napoleon At St. Helena, October 15, 1815. June /p, The Emperor reached Charleroy at 7 o'clock in the morning, passed through the town, and crossed the Sambre. He passed some time in the meadow which lies to the right after crossing the bridge. There he tried to rally a small body of cavalry, carbineers, etc. It was a vain effort! The men who fell into the ranks on one side slipped out at the other..... His Majesty ate something. His servants rejoined me with those of Lariboisiere; my horse being exhausted, I took one of his. The Emperor told me to give orders to four companies of pontonniers who were near, equipped for bridge-building, to abandon their drays and their boats, and to fall back with the horses and soldiers of their party on Avesnes. I also hastened the departure of a number of peasants' carts, loaded with wine, bread, etc. They contained a considerable quantity of provisions, while in the army we were dying of hunger. His Majesty, who was greatly fatigued, demanded a caleche. We told him the roads were encumbered with vehicles, and that in a carriage he could not escape from the light horse of the enemy, which every moment we expected to appear. He then remounted on horseback, and for a short time we took the road to Avesnes; but after being informed that there were partisans of the enemy at Beaumont, the Emperor decided to go toward Philippeville. After a time we met some of our men in flight, who tried to obstruct our passage. His Majesty hesitated for a moment, but seeing no enemy, decided we must go on; we therefore resumed our route. With Saint Yon, Regnault, Amillet, and...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks of Napoleon at St. Helena: With General Gourgaud; Together With the Journal Kept by Gourgaud on Their Journey From Waterloo to St. Helena This journal, which consists of twelve hundred printed pages, was not published until 1898, and is too prolix for complete translation. We want to know all Gourgaud can tell us about Napoleon; we do not care to know what he notes down concerning his jealousies, his sulks, his ennui, his perpetual pity for himself. I have therefore extracted from the two volumes of the Journal (without the help of any satisfactory index), almost all that Napo leon said to Gourgaud in familiar chats, about his past life, and his speculations as to the future. I have omit ted most Of Napoleon's vituperations of Sir Hudson Lowe, and his complaints against the English government, also anecdotes of his 607mm fortunes, and his constantly recur ring disputations with Gourgaud concerning that follower's mother's pension - a pension Napoleon was quite ready to give, and Gourgaud eager to receive, though he could not be prevailed upon to take it, on some point of honor. It is hoped that this record of what Napoleon said, taken down by one whose truthfulness Napoleon himself vouched for, may be found interesting by many who might have been wearied by reading the larger part of this record, although it was kept by a man who loved his master devotedly, and who had been attached to his personal service since 1812.
