Artillery of the Napoleonic Wars : Artillery in siege, fortress and navy, 1792-1815 /Kevin F. Kiley. "Napoleon was an artilleryman before he was an emperor. He understood the power and effectiveness of cannon and their ability to pulverise defences, reduce fortresses and destroy attacks. In return, the guns won Napoleon battles. This impressive study chronicles the story of the guns and men during the twenty-three years of almost continuous warfare from 1792-1815: from the battlefields of continental Europe to the almost primitive terrain of North America and of the seas, lakes and rivers that connected them. Detailed technical information is accompanied by vivid descriptions which allow the reader to imagine what it must have been liked to manoeuvre and man the guns in a variety of situations - whether on the march or on the battlefield. Based on years of research into regulations of the period, eyewitness accounts of artillerymen and material culled from official reports, the scope and depth of material will satisfy the serious researcher, while the lively narrative will appeal to the casual reader."--Provided by the publisher. 2015. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.49"1793/1815"(42:44)

A bitter draught : St Helena : the abolition of slavery 1792-1840 /Colin Fox. "A Bitter Draught tells the story of the abolition of slavery on St Helena, a small mid-Atlantic island, ruled for many years by the English East India Company. Slaves had been brought to the island from the time of its first settlement in 1659. In the late 18th century liberal-minded directors of the company wanted to see the end of slavery but were much less inclined to use their wealth to aid its eradication. Instead, it was left to the governors of the island to move matters forward, first by banning the import of slaves, then by freeing the children born of slave mothers and finally, and iniquituously, forcing the slaves to take out loans to purchase their own freedom. Repayment of these loans, hard enough under the Company's rule, became utterly unfeasible when the island's sovereignty reverted to the Crown in 1834, and the economy crashed. However, this book is more than just a narrative of these events, The author delves deeper into the story of the island's slaves - where they came from, how they lived, their occupations, their personal relationships, what they wore, ate and drank and even their humour. Small clues, hidden in the minutiae of EIC Factory records, have been collected to provide a glimpse into the lives of these unfortunate people. For many it was a terribly sad story, but there were some who strived with courage, fortitude and hard work to overcome all hardships and achieve freedom for both their families and themselves. These are their stories."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 306.3/6209973
