Captain Cavalié Mercer (1783-1868), commander of G Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery in Wellington's army, was a skilled writer who recorded the day's events each evening. As a result, readers can experience through Mercer's keen eye the turbulence and graphic immediacy of the entire campaign: the news of Napoleon's return from Elba; the landing of Wellington's forces in Belgium; the lulls and hard marching; the battle at Quatre Bras (where Mercer fired a few rounds at Napoleon himself); Wellington's retreat; the ferocious fighting at Waterloo; and Mercer's own bold contribution to the larger Allied victory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cavalié Mercer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.35w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306806513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaptain \u003cb\u003eCavalie Mercer\u003c\/b\u003e (1783-1868) was commander of G Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery in Wellington's army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39952751132787,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_5a0e7614-951f-425d-95b3-ed8ee88cb220.jpg?v=1648564926","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/journal-of-the-waterloo-campaign-9780306806513","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
