The Peninsular War with the Coldstream Guards: Reminiscences of an Officer in Portugal and Spain John Cowell Stepney

At war with a 'Gentleman's Son'

This is another Leonaur published source work which will provide one more vital piece in the historical record of the war in Portugal and Spain against Napoleon's French Army. Cowell-Stepney was a Coldstreamer-an officer of one of Wellington's elite regiments. We join him in 1810 as he journeys to the Peninsula and follow his experiences through 1811 and the entry into Spain. This volume includes a well documented account of Albuera and much essential material of life on campaign. It concludes with the storming of Badajos. This rare account is available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket. Leonaur hard backs are cloth bound and feature head and tail bands and gold foil embossed spines-a credit to your bookshelf. This volume is one of over a hundred books concerning the history of the Napoleonic Wars published by Leonaur.
