With the Eighth Division - M.C.Moffett

One of only 1,000 printed in 1903, Average condition. Includes folding map. All pages intact and clean, binding on edges a little frayed. Book contains Casualty list of the Eigth Division

The following is the scene as described by F C Moffett: 'The first prominent Boers to appear were Prinsloo, De Villiers and Crowther - fine looking men; they were preceded by Sir Godfrey and Lady Lagden, from Basutoland, who had come to witness the final scene. Then followed the commandos, who threw down their arms and ammunition with a certain effect of swagger in front of the guns. The whole scene was most romantic ... In the background were huge mountain masses standing out in the clear morning air, and from these came the various commandos winding down the steep mountain paths to the valley below. They were a motley lot - old and young men - some mere boys; all had two horses each at least, but many had three, the spare ones being used for baggage, which consisted of pots, pans, bedding, blankets, etc. There were a considerable number of natives among them, all of whom were mounted, though scantily clad. A huge number of wagons and Cape-carts followed, in which were many women, the wives of the burghers.'

Napiers history of the Peninsular Wars.
William Napier served in the Peninsular War and wrote a History of the War in the Peninsula (6 vols., 1828�40). The first volume was published early in 1828; however, the publisher lost money by it so Napier decided to publish the remainder of the work on his own account. The second volume appeared in 1829; the third and fourth volumes were published in 1831 and 1834 respectively. In the spring of 1840 the sixth and final volume was published. Sir William Francis Patrick Napier (1785-1860) British general and historian who fought in the Napoleonic Wars and particularly in the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal. He fought in the major battles of Fuentes de Onoro, Salamanca, and the Nivelle River and was wounded several times. In 1819 he retired from the army on half-pay owing to a musket ball lodged on his spine and in 1823 he began his masterwork, 'A History of the War in the Peninsula', which was published between 1828 and 1840 in six volumes by John Murray to wide acclaim. It was based partly on his own combat experiences and partly on information supplied by two commanders in that conflict, the Duke of Wellington and the French Marshal Nicolas-Jean de Dieu Soult. Napier was knighted in 1848. Pages intact bindings a little fragile see photograph.
