E. W. Buckham was a professional soldier involved in staff duties,
who-along with many other gentlemen of the period-was determined to
enjoy his war against Napoleon's French in Spain and Portugal. His
duties on the staff enabled Buckham to take advantage of a freedom
of movement impossible for regimental officers. As an educated man
he pursued his journey through the countryside of the Peninsula,
taking detailed account of the people, customs and places of
interested that he came across. He recorded his experiences,
chiefly for the entertainment of family and friends. This gentle
account of Wellington's army on campaign, published originally in
1827, is an extremely rare book on the antiquarian market; it
provides students of the period with invaluable background insights
into the personality and times of a participant in momentous
events.
