Greetings to old friends
The email that came through about the change to the Forum reminded me that I hadn't actually visited the site in a few years though I used to be a regular of the old Napoleonic Discussion Forum. I haven't lost interest, it's just that I moved to Alderney and have acquired a whole host of new hobbies and activities.
I'm still plugging away at my biography of Marshal Macdonald (up to 1814 and near the end of the military stuff at last) and would love to hear from anyone else interested in him.
Regards to all,
Susan Wood (formerly Susan Howard)

When he talks about his "private source of information" in 1799, he is referring to the Marengo double-agent, Carlo Gioelli. However, I don't think he was the only warn to warn Joubert not to advance to Novi, as it appears that Soult, Joubert's CoS, also did.
