About the book: The military travels of Croker presented in a series of letters a few years before the Peninsular Wars. The tone is very honest and engaging. In one town the locals decided that it would be fun to throw stones at the troups and only stopped their sport when the use of guns were threatened. Croker writes in detail about the food and wine and is also very observant of the interest the Spanish men pay to the English women that travel with the soldiers.
