It is an exciting and engaging read for young adults who are interested in history, adventure, and military fiction.The next day, the bulk of Beresford's army returned to the neighborhood of Badajos, which they again invested, while a long convoy of wounded started for Lisbon. The Scudamores accompanied it as far as Campo Major, where a large hospital had been prepared for those too ill to bear the journey. Peter was still unconscious. Fever had set in upon the day after the battle, and for three weeks he lay between life and death.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
