He was sent to the Crimea and while there he witnessed the appalling conditions under which the British soldier had to fight. His letters home were filled with vivid descriptions of what he saw. His father was impressed by his letters and sent them to The Morning Advertiser newspaper which printed them. This initial writing success was a factor in Henty's later decision to accept the offer to become a special correspondent, the early name for journalists now better known as war correspondents.

This book was released on 2020-02-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few campaigns that, either in point of the immense scale upon which it was undertaken, the completeness of its failure, or the enormous loss of life entailed, appeal to the imagination in so great a degree as that of Napoleon against Russia. Fortunately, we have in the narratives of Sir Robert Wilson, British commissioner with the Russian army, and of Count Segur, who was upon Napoleon's staff, minute descriptions of the events as seen by eye-witnesses, and besides these the campaign has been treated fully by various military writers. I have as usual avoided going into details of horrors and of acts of cruelty and ferocity on both sides, surpassing anything in modern warfare, and have given a mere outline of the operations, with a full account of the stern fight at Smolensk and the terrible struggle at Borodino. I would warn those of my readers who may turn to any of the military works for a further history of the campaign, that the spelling of Russian places and names varies so greatly in the accounts of different writers, that sometimes it is difficult to believe that the same person or town is meant, and even in the narratives by Sir Robert Wilson, and by Lord Cathcart, our ambassador at St. Petersburg, who was in constant communication with him, scarcely a name will be found similarly spelt. I mention this, as otherwise much confusion might be caused by those who may compare my story with some of these recognized authorities, or follow the incidents of the campaign upon maps of Russia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WILLIAM HEYSHAM OVEREND (1851-1898) William Heysham Overend was a painter and illustrator, specialising in naval and other marine subjects. Despite his short career, he was prolific and successful. William Heysham Overend was born on 5 October 1851 in Coatham, near Middlesborough, now in the county of North Yorkshire. He was the third son of James Overend, a flax spinner, and Martha nee Hodgson. When he was 10 years old, he and his family moved south to Hackney, London, where his father took up a position as a railway contractor. They later lived at Buccleuch Terrace, Clapton Common. Overend was educated as a dayboy at Charterhouse, in 1863, and then at Bruce Castle, a progressive school in Tottenham. Determined to become a painter, he studied for three years in the studio of the painter, Davis Cooper. Developing as a marine artist, he exhibited paintings mainly at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (being elected a member of the latter in 1886). He also contributed to magazines, especially the Illustrated London News (1872-96), and illustrated books, most notably boys' stories, such as those by G A Henty. Having had various addresses through the 1870s, Overend is recorded in 1881 as living with his wife, Sofia, at a boarding house at 64 Guilford Street, Bloomsbury, and keeping a studio close by at 39a Queen Square. In 1882, Overend sailed to New York, in order to fulfil a commission to commemorate Admiral David Porter's naval conquest of New Orleans, during the American Civil War. The resulting painting proved a great success. He would also exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893. Overend died at home at 17 Southampton Street, Fitzroy Square, London, on 18 March 1898.
