by David Harris
On This Page
Description
"This almanac is a glorious jumble of facts and events brought together as a primer for the aspiring student of Nelson's era. Essentially, the book has three basic elements. It is biographical, with articles written by some of the most respected modern-day Nelson experts and historians. It is a book of his letters, with Nelson himself giving us first hand information of his experiences. And it is a window on history, illuminating the events and people that characterised the tumultuous times show more in which Nelson lived." "Structured as a diary, each month opens with an article covering a particular aspect of Nelson's life or naval career. These are followed by days of the week, with a date for Nelson taken from his letters, together with a corresponding date in world history during Nelson's lifetime. Certain dates are further embellished in shorter articles and illustrated with images from the archives of the Warwick Leadlay Gallery."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
