Souvenirs du Captain Parquin by Charles Parquin

"One of the great personal memoirs of the period, as vivid as Marbot's-and considerably more accurate."


There is a lavishly illustrated edition, the illustrations being of incidents in the text, available in both French and English. It is an excellent volume and an excellent memoir. It is entitled Napoleon's Victories.
