Book Description
Excerpt from The Bivouac, or Stories of the Peninsular War, Vol. 2 of 2 Of all the Guerilla leaders the two Minas were the most remarkable for their daring, their talents, and their successes. The younger, Xavier, had a short career, but nothing could be more chivalrous and ro mantic than many of the incidents that marked it. His band amounted to a thousand, and 'with this force be kept Navarre, Biscay, and Aragon, in confusion; ia tercepted convoys, levied contributions, plundered the custom-houses, and harassed the enemy incessantly. The villages were obliged to furnish rations for his tr00ps, and the French convoys supplied him with money and ammunition. His escapes were often mar vellous. He swam flooded rivers deemed impassable, and climbed precipices hitherto untraversed by a human tbot. Near Estella he was forced by numbers to take refuge on a lofty rock; the only accessible side he do fended till nightfall, when lowering himself and follow ers by a rope, he brought his party off with scarcely the loss of a man.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 1: 1807-1809, From the Treaty of Fontainebleau to the Battle of Corunna I have worked at the Record Office on the British official papers of the first years of the war, especially noting all the passages which are omitted in the printed dispatches of Moore and other British generals. The suppressed paragraphs (always placed within brackets marked with a pencil) contain a good deal of useful matter, mainly criticisms on individuals which it would not have been wise to publish at the time. There are a considerable number of intercepted French dispatches in the collection, and a certain amount of correspondence with the Spaniards which contains facts and figures generally unknown. Among the most interesting are the letters of General Leith, who was attached to the head quarters of Blake; in them I found by far the best account of the operations of the Army of Galicia in Oct. - Nov., 1808, which I have come upon.
