This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to present the chief events in the last campaign of Sir John Moore. Enough of Sir John Moore's life, and of life in England, France, and Spain to explain those events has been included. In several instances, perhaps important instances, accounts of events as given here differ from what may be found elsewhere. In such cases the documents upon which the present narrative is based have been indicated. The list of those to whom I am indebted is a long one. The staff of the Public Record Office have been unfailingly helpful, pleasant, and ef ficient on the many occasions when I have used the Record Office. The Librarian and staff of the National Library of Scotland were most help ful when the writer consulted the papers of Sir George Murray and the manuscripts of Thomas Graham, Lord Lynedoch, in that Library. An especially enjoyable occasion was the time spent in the Scottish United Services Museum working with the Sir David Baird papers. I am much indebted to The Honourable the Marquess of Anglesey for permission to consult the Paget papers in the Library at Plas-Newydd. The Libra rian and the Keeper of Manuscripts of the John Rylands Library have been most kind and generous in making available the papers of Sir Henry Clinton. As always, Mr.

This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Robert Ker Porter’s life was as varied and dramatic as his paintings. A noted author, artist, soldier and diplomat, he was born into a military family in Durham. After developing a reputation for his painting, he travelled extensively in Northern Europe, before accepting commissions for historical paintings from the Tzar of Russia in 1805. He travelled on to Sweden where he met Sir John Moore. Sir John found him congenial company and invited him to accompany the expedition to Spain that he was to lead. Sir John’s campaign in 1808 was to be brief, outnumbered by his French opponents by massive odds, and with the weight of British and Spanish hopes encumbering him, he opted for a bold thrust at an isolated French corps under Soult. The British troops were discovered on their approach march and, despite a number of successful small engagements, the imminent danger of the other French corps rushing to surround the small body of British men was obvious to Moore. His only choice was to retreat through some of the roughest country in Europe: through the crags, ravines and gorges on Northern Spain. Fending off successive French attacks, dealing with drunken starving soldiers, and rapidly diminishing supplies, Sir John drove his men on to Coruña, where he fought a sterling defensive battle to ensure that his men could be carried off by the Royal Navy. Sir Robert Porter’s work illustrates the hardships and difficulties men and officers of the British force with all of the eye for detail that an artist can summon. His letters are one of the prime sources for the campaign of 1808. Author — Porter, Robert Ker, Sir, 1777-1842. Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, 1809 Original Page Count – xiv, 320 p. Illustrations — 7 engravings.

Download or read book Corunna 1809 written by Brian L. Kieran and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Brian Kieran has shed more light on Sir John Moore and his heroic retreat during 1808 -1809 through the Galicia Mountains in the middle of Winter to Corunna in Spain. The tragic events of the retreat are graphically described leading to the sombre death of Sir John Moore at the moment of Victory. The one British Army of the time escaped through their evacuation from Corunna from Napoleon and ultimately his Marshals. Moore's skilful campaign caused Napoleon to return to Paris as he could not bear the thought of being defeated or outrun by the More's military skill. Moore's death occurred at the height of the battle at Corunna and he was aware of the victory before he died a painful death. More's death gave rise to the composition of a number of poem's yet the most famous was written by an Irishman; in England it became a children's Memorial to a Great Man. "But he lay like a warrior taking his rest, With his martial cloak around him." Moore could have been given no greater honour at that time when Soult ordered the firing of a salute of Cannon.
