Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Sir David Baird
There have been few more dramatic events than the three visits Of Baird to Seringapatam first as a prisoner, then as a brigadier, and lastly as the leader of the storming party.
Another curious circumstance is the manner in which Sir David so frequently met the Duke of Wellington and Sir Home Popham on active service, and it is strange that his old regiment (the 7150 should have served under him in the capture of the Cape, and should have taken part in the Corunna campaign.
