Adventures In Holland And At Waterloo; And Expedition To Portugal

By Thomas Knight

A vivid journey through a world in motion, Adventures In Holland And At Waterloo invites you to travel with courage, curiosity, and curiosity's edge. A one-man chronicle of crossings, campaigns and coastlines, it blends sharp-eyed observation with a traveller's ear for anecdote. This is more than a travelogue narrative; it is historical travel writing that records the peninsular theatre and the low countries with freshness and tact. Thomas Knight's account, part adventure travel memoir, part documentary, offers both cheerful local colour and precise context, revealing holland travelogue textures, waterloo campaign insights, and a portugal expedition narrative that illuminate a restless era. It speaks to general readers and history enthusiasts alike, and to hobby historians who crave vivid, grounded detail without losing the thread of story. A note on literary and historical significance: the work stands as a bridge between classical travel literature and modern memoir, capturing the atmosphere of napoleonic europe through a British traveller's eyes, while contributing to the genre of classicbritish travel writing with a clear, accessible voice. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Whether you seek casual reading or a collector's item, this book rewards every kind of reader.
