Description

Forward, the Baggage! by Arthur Eaglestone In 1808, Napoleon's power seems unchallenged as Spain and Portugal fall to his forces. For Major Foulkes from Tollgate, this is an opportunity to fight against the French under Sir John Moore's command. However, his wife Harriet has other plans, which lead her to join the army's baggage train in Spain. As the war rages on, people from different backgrounds come together - including a villainous figure named John Harker and a charming acquaintance of Harriet's from the Brighton social scene, Tony Harte. This gripping story brings to life the experiences of generals, privates, civilians and mercenaries during the Peninsular War. With its well-told narrative and polished prose, this novel is likely to appeal to fans of historical fiction by authors such as Tolstoy, Patrick O'Brien, Bernard Cornwell and Walter Scott.
