The author John William Cole was well placed to provide the details of their lives being a long serving soldier in the British Army; his portraits are full of descriptive detail, without being too biased, he discusses the contentious issues as well as the victories they achieved. From the fiery, foul-mouthed Picton, respected but not loved by his men, to the quiet dignified "Daddy" Hill, who was adept at taking care of his own troops as well as surprising the French; the British generals were a diverse group worthy of individual attention that the author gave them.This volume chronicles the lives ofNo. VIII. -- SIR THOMAS PICTON.No. IX. -- LORD LYNEDOCH.No. IX. -- EARL OF HOPETOUN.No. X. -- LORD HILL.No. XII. -- MAJOR-GENERAL LE MARCHANT.No. XII. -- MAJOR-GENERAL ROSS.No. XIII. -- SIR EDWARD PAKENHAM.Author - John William Cole (????-1870) 410 0$aMemoirs of British Generals Distinguished in the Peninsular War 517 $aMemoirs of British Generals Distinguished in the Peninsular War 606 $aPeninsular War, 1807-1814$7Generated by AI 606 $aGenerals$7Generated by AI 615 0$aPeninsular War, 1807-1814 615 0$aGenerals 676 $a940.274092 700 $aCole$b John William$0271897 701 $aPublishing$b Pickle Partners$01077764 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164076603321 996 $aMemoirs of British Generals Distinguished in the Peninsular War.
