Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Lord Hill, G. C. B: Late Commander of the Forces The papers of the late Lord Hill having been confided to my discretion with a view of presenting the public with the narrative of his Life, I have endeavoured to produce a faithful delineation of his rare and estimable character. I have reason to believe that my being selected as his biographer is, in a great measure, due to the friendly approbation expressed by his Lordship himself, and his nearest relatives, of the manner in which I had discharged a similar duty with regard to his two uncles, the Reverend Rowland Hill and Sir Richard Hill. Thus encouraged, I ventured on the task proposed to me, and with the more readiness, because the history of the military achievements of Lord Hill has been already written in the Despatches of the Duke of Wellington and the official accounts of the battles in which he was engaged. My endeavour in the present volume has been to compile, from the materials preserved by himself and supplied by his friends, an authentic detail of his own life, and to make himself the principal narrator of his own interesting career. Enough of his correspondence and memoranda has been preserved for this purpose, the chief attraction of which will be found in that simplicity of style whereby his own accounts of the transactions in which he was engaged are rendered intelligible to every class of readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unlikely soldiers of his day, General Rowland Hill, 1st Viscount Hill of Almarez was imaginative, brave – and perhaps more surprisingly for the period in which he lived and fought – compassionate towards those under his command. This is the compelling story of one of history's forgotten heroes, a man who frequently led from the front in some of the deadliest battles of the Napoleonic Wars. Hill was given his own 'detached' corps and fought his way through Spain, Portugal and France, winning battles against the odds – such at St Pierre, where he defeated the redoubtable Marechal Soult when outnumbered two to one. When ministers at home asked that Hill be allowed to leave the Peninsula and lead an army elsewhere, Wellington dismissed the idea with 'Would you cut off my right hand?' Hill fought at Roliça, Corunna, Talavera, Bussaco, Almarez, Vitoria and Waterloo. He succeeded the Duke in 1828 as Commander-in-Chief of the forces and served as such until he resigned in 1842, a period marked by civil unrest that he reluctantly was obliged to confront. Based upon the Hill papers and a wide range of other primary sources, Wellington's Right Hand is an important addition to the literature of the Napoleonic age and in particular to that of the Peninsular War. Writer and historian Joanna Hill is the great, great, great niece of Rowland Hill and as such has gained unique access to the Hill family archives. In April 2005, she published her first book on the Hill family, The Hills of Hawkstone and Attingham; the Rise, Shine and Decline of a Shropshire Family. Serendipity has sometimes led her life in the footsteps of her illustrious ancestor. While working at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University's post graduate department for the history of art and archaeology, she spent three very hot seasons excavating in the Nile Delta of Egypt, a few kilometres from the site of one of the General's very first battles, at Aboukir in 1801. She currently lives with her husband (and an international champion Skye terrier, Dougal) in a 13th-century hilltop bastide village in South West France. This is just a short distance north of St Pierre d'Irube at the foot of the Pyrenees, where Rowland Hill won his very own general action in the closing stages of the Peninsular War in December 1813. When the victorious British cavalry rode home through France from Toulouse to the channel ports in May the following year, they must have passed by.
