- Peninsular WarDoes anybody know which of the Hussar regiments with Moore had the new Paget carbine and which had the older Elliot model? I gather the 7th Hussars would have had the new model, given the Paget connection, but I'm particularly interested in the 18th Hussars.Like
- General DiscussionsI've just finished writing my article on the Combat of Schleiz. It was an intriguing encounter that I previously knew little about, and through my research, I learned a lot about the actions of both sides. I hope I did the topic justice.

- Books of interestVIVA NAPOLEÓN / MUERA BONAPARTE! Propaganda y opiniones contrastadas en el mundo hispánico (1798-1810) Carlos Gustavo Mejía Chávez Despuntaba el siglo XIX cuando la imagen heroica de Napoleón Bonaparte se esparcía por España y América.Escritos, canciones, poemas y estampas evocaban al general invicto, al artífice de la paz, al gran estadista del mundo moderno. Pero la invasión a España en 1808 provocó la inversión de la propaganda. Una avalancha de textos dibujó a Napoleón como el gran traidor y tirano.El "excelso emperador" se disolvió en el "Anticristo de Córcega"; el aclamado moderador de la Revolución francesa fue calificado como hereje y ateísta. En Nueva España, agitada por conspiraciones y movimientos revolucionarios, el rostro de Napoleón quiso verse reflejado en el espejo de Hidalgo y de los líderes de la independencia.A través del estudio de un inmenso repertorio de sermones, gacetas, estampas, libelos satíricos y procesos judiciales, este libro nos permite apreciar la presencia contradictoria de Napoleón en las postrimerías de la Nueva España. Más de cien imágenes se combinan en esta fascinante reconstrucción del clima político de un momento crucial de nuestra historia. https://www.perlego.com/book/5125206/viva-napolen-muera-bonaparte-propaganda-y-opiniones-contrastadas-en-el-mundo-hispnico-17981810-pdfLike
