Robert Burnham Author

Mois s Gaud ncio was born in Lorv o, Portugal and was raised very near the Bussaco mountain. He became fascinated by the stories told by his grandparents about the French, who were lost in the mountains and were chased by the peasants, after the battle. This led to his lifelong interest in the subject of the Portuguese role in the Peninsular War. He is a contributor to the Napoleon Series website and published some posts on the cooperative blog Do Douro a Toulouse (http://18131814.blogspot.com/). Robert Burnham recently retired as the editor of the largest Napoleonic history site on the internet (www.napoleon-series.org) and is the author of Charging against Wellington: The French Cavalry in the Peninsular War and co-author of Wellington's Brigade Commanders and Inside Wellington's Peninsular Army.
