Brother and Sister Boer - A Family's Struggle Against the British During the Boer War-The Petticoat Commando or Boer Women in Secret Service by - Bok

Brother and Sister Boer - A Family's Struggle Against the British During the Boer War-The Petticoat Commando or Boer Women in Secret Service by - Bok

Joined by blood and convictionThis book contains two first hand accounts of the Second Boer War written by a brother and sister. Each had a strong sense of their Boer identity and saw the future of at least a significant portion of southern Africa as offering a chance for their culture to create its own destiny. This made them implacable enemies of the British agenda-and of the British military might to impose it-for the region. By virtue of their sex each of the Boer siblings had to serve their..

The killing spree that followed..

Wellington's Commander of Cavalry - the Early Life and Military Career of Stapleton Cotton, by The Right Hon. Mary, Viscountess Combermere and W.W. Kn

Wellington's Commander of Cavalry - the Early Life and Military Career of Stapleton Cotton, by The Right Hon. Mary, Viscountess Combermere and W.W. Kn

Wellington's intelligent and flamboyant cavalry commanderDespite a long career filled with victories, many modern readers think of the Duke of Wellington in terms of his greatest military success, the Battle of Waterloo. This leads them to believe that his leader of cavalry was his brother-in-law, Henry Paget, who rode at the Duke's side on that eventful day in June 1815. In fact, through the long campaigns of the Peninsular War, Wellington's cavalry was commanded by Stapleton Cotton, the subject..

As the Hague Ordains - A Novel of Japan at the Turn of the Twentieth Century - Bok av Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore - Häftad

A story of love and triumph over adversityThe author of this novel wrote just one work of fiction. She was, however, a remarkable and highly creative person in other ways. An American, she was highly regarded as a writer, photographer and geographer. Widely travelled, she became the first woman board member of the National Geographic Society. Eliza Scidmore was fortunate in that her brother was a career diplomat operating principally in the Far East. She often accompanied him on his travels and this..

Sergeant Morris of the 73rd Foot - the Experiences of a British Infantryman During the Napoleonic Wars-Including Campaigns in Germany and at Waterloo

Sergeant Morris of the 73rd Foot - the Experiences of a British Infantryman During the Napoleonic Wars-Including Campaigns in Germany and at Waterloo

A unique and exceptional account of the British Army on campaign against NapoleonMost British military memoirs of the Napoleonic period focus, understandably, on the actions of Wellington's army as it fought through the Iberian peninsula during the bloody struggle to expel the French from Portugal and Spain. Morris's important memoir is somewhat different. He elected to join his elder brother in the second battalion of the 73rd regiment of foot and found himself on board ship bound for Sweden. Campaigning..

Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of R. H. Benson - One Novel 'The Necromancers' and Twenty-Eight Tales of the Strange and Unusual - Bok av R H

Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of R. H. Benson - One Novel 'The Necromancers' and Twenty-Eight Tales of the Strange and Unusual - Bok av R H

The collected supernatural tales of a famous literary priestRobert Hugh Benson was one of the three famous, literary Benson Brothers who, in addition to their other occupations, developed a taste for penning stories of the ghostly and weird. Born in 1871, one of six siblings and the son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, R. H. Benson's ghostly fiction has certainly taken (together with the comparable work of brother, A. C. Benson) a subordinate place to the considerable cannon of work in the genre produced..

A Brief History of the King's Royal Rifle Corps 1755-1915 - Bok av Edward Hutton - Inbunden

Riflemen in greenPopular historical fiction has brought focus to Wellington's Green jacketed riflemen. The hero of those novels is, as most readers know, a member of the 95th regiment. The subject of this book concerns the history of that regiment's brother, and indeed senior, Rifle corps, the 60th. The two regiments can be differentiated by the red collar and cuffs of the 60th. This regiment had its origins in the Seven Years War as it was fought in the New World-the French and Indian War-when those..
