Rough Notes of Seven Campaigns in Portugal, Spain, France and America During the Years 1809-15 (Spellmount Library of Military History) by John Spencer Cooper

Staplehurst: Spellmount, 1996. 150 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w frontispiece. "(O)ne of the very best - and one of the most sought after - of the many volumes of Peninsular reminiscences. Originally published in 1869, 'Rough Notes' is an account of the military career of a man who saw action with the 7th (Royal Fusiliers) at many of the greatest battles and sieges of the Peninsular War, including Talavera, Busaco, Albuera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Vittoria and the Pyrenees. A wonderful book which combines much detail of the day-to-day life of a soldier in Wellington's army, with honest and vivid accounts of the battles in which he took part. Undoubtedly, this is one of the finest personal accounts of the Peninsular War and of the ill-fated New Orleans campaign of 1815."
