(NAPOLEON)
Autograph letter signed (G.A. Barlow), 20 pages, in English, Camp near Paris, July 7, 1815. An extensive eyewitness account of the Battle of Waterloo (a.k.a. Battle of Belle Alliance) by a British soldier writing to his father. Barlow writes: The position of Waterloo upon which the Battle for the destinies of Europe was about to be fought, is nothing more than a range of moderate rising ground ... it was fine commanding, open fighting ground, but traversable in all directions by Cavalry and Cannon... The Germans attack first, but, according to Barlow, are forced to quit once the house they were positioned in was set afire by the enemy. Barlow acknowledges they made an admirable defense. After a series of failed attacks by the enemy Cavalry ([they were not] discontinued until the flower of the French Cavalry both in men and horses were almost wholly destroyed), the two infantries converge along with cannon fire: This was indeed the crisis of the eventful day, both armies were in close contact and hot action and the cannonade really tremendous ... in an effort that was to decide the fortune of the battle: an effort worthy of the great cause for which each contested. Clearly legible and skilfully written, Barlows first-hand account of the battle, composed in a letter to his father, is as fine as any published accounts. 8vo, bound in half red morocco over cloth, spine lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. Front board detached; edges worn; bookplates tipped to front pastedown and f.f.e.p. $1,000-2,000
