Présentation de l'éditeur
The warder of the Tower has his bout with the citizen on the green; Sir Walter Raleigh looks on from above, and the lieutenants wife from below and neither of the three warder, lieutenants wife, nor the prisoner, Sir Walter can agree with either of the other two as to what took place. Inside the Tower three different tales are told. It is reasonably certain that still another version was given when the citizen got back to town and began to talk. How, then, can any one expect to learn exactly what occurred on Sunday, June i8th, 1815, in front of the village of Mont-S aint Jean? Many witnesses testify, and the conflict of testimony is utterly irreconcilable. Much of the battle was not seen by Napoleon, and much of it was hidden from Wellington.
