1816 Napoleonic War Narratives MacQueen + Shoberl Folding MAPS Napoleon 2in1

1816 Napoleonic War Narratives MacQueen + Shoberl Folding MAPS Napoleon 2in1

A rare pairing of two works describing important and notable events from the Napoleonic Wars. Both James MacQueen and Frederic Shoberl contributed narratives on battles involving the French military:

• “Narrative of the Political and Military Events of 1815”, by MacQueen
• “Narrative of the Most Remarkable Events”, by Shoberl

Both of these works are included in this tome which contains impressive, folding battlefield and country maps. Maps from the Napoleonic War era are highly desirable and are considered quite rare, especially to still be included in the original book.
