"Journal of the Waterloo Campaign" remains one of the most famous
personal accounts of the climactic three days which ended the
military career and empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. Captain Cavalie
Mercer (1783-1868), was a skilled writer who recorded the day's
events each evening. As a result, readers can experience through
Mercer's keen eye the turbulence and graphic immediacy of the
entire campaign: the news of Napoleon's return from Elba; the
landing of Wellington's forces in Belgium; the lulls and hard
marching; the battle at Quatre Bras (where Mercer fired a few
rounds at Napoleon himself); Wellington's retreat; the ferocious
fighting at Waterloo; and Mercer's own bold contribution to the
larger Allied victory.
