This book is in good condition with some soiling and rubbing of the covers, the corners are a little bit bumped, the covers are starting to become loose from the binding, pages are clean and tight. I have not seen any writing on the pages. Contest includes: a defeated army was falling back though the mountains from Espinosa. Such was it condition that an ignorant observer would find it easier to guess that it had been defeated than that I had been any army. The twenty thousands men of who it was composed were strung out along twenty miles of road; it sick and its dead littered the edges of the road for a hundred miles to the rear. At the head came such a of the Calvary as were fortunate enough still to have horses to ride; they felt safer there than in their proper place, covering the retreat, nest came the infantry, in groups, in herds, or in ones and tatters, and their skin, blue with disease and cold, showed though the rents. Perhaps half of them still retained their muskets, and of these perhaps a quarter had bayonets as well, and much, much more.This book does not have illustrations. Thanks for Looking.
