General Louis-Henri Loison
I was wondering if somebody could point me to more information about general Loison aka "Maneta", of questionable reputation. I have already found some sources in German (some rather dubious tales from his time in Switzerland, some more from his service under Ney in Tyrol 1805 and remarks from Hamburg during the last years of the empire). I would be particularly interested in (online) Portuguese accounts from the first French invasion under Junot. Has anybody come across anything of that sort?
Many thanks in advance!

Again, thanks a LOT! I'd come across excerpts of this already but did not quite know what to make of it without context. I've briefly checked for the story with Soult in Oporto and could already see that the author mentions Brun de Villeret and Tholozé. I'm reading Brun's "Cahiers" right now so I'm curious what the study makes of it. Thank you once more!
