Les Cahiers du Capitaine Coignet, edited by Loredan Larchey
"The simple story of an 'old sweat' who raised himself up out of the ranks to a captaincy in the Imperial Guard. He was a good soldier and proud of it."
In one of the old books of La Sabretache there is a photograph of Coignet in his 'retirement' and he looks tougher than woodpecker lips. Not one to insult or 'mess with.'
