Synopsis
Excerpt from Mary Anne Wellington, the Soldier's Daughter, Wife, and Widow, Vol. 2 of 3
Since you left us, dearest wife, I have received two letters from Colchester, and glad in some measure I am, that they did not reach me before your departure for Old England; because I could not have urged your removal from scenes of terrific grandeur, and of most appalling dificulties, with the same effect I have done. My poor mother' s death would have destroyed my strength of argu ment for your journey. I am sure of one thing, that God has been merciful to you, in directing you to such a person as Mrs. Martin appears, by her letter, to be. And merciful indeed, has that good God been to me, that I am in health at this moment to write to you. Such scenes have I witnessed! Such trials have we all gone through that, compara tively speaking, one man's narration thereof is but a bubble!

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the extraordinary story of Mary Anne Hewitt, a young woman whose journey to be reunited with her husband during the Peninsular War is fraught with hardship and danger. It gives a unique insight into the life of an ordinary soldier during Wellington's campaign, and the brutal realities of battle during the Napoleonic era. The author paints a vivid picture of the battles of Talavera and Bussaco, the privations of the army, and the courage and resilience of the soldiers. The story is set against the backdrop of a war that was as much a political struggle as a military one, and the author sheds light on the strategic thinking and decision-making at the heart of the conflict. Mary Anne Hewitt's extraordinary account not only celebrates the human spirit in the face of adversity but also explores the wider implications and significance of the Peninsular War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334317842_0
