Early Reminiscences (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Early Reminiscences

My little volume on the Crimean War having been favourably received by the press and by the public, I have ventured to write a few experiences and adventures of my earlier life. They are such as fall to the lot of ordinary mortals, but, as many of them refer to days when ladies went to parties in sedan chairs, when gentlemen fought their battles in the morning with swords and pistols, and when railways were unknown, my reminiscences may be of interest to some, and my exploits in the forest and on the fjord may be amusing to others; while the fighting through a rebellion and the description of a shipwreck may be considered as pieces de résistance for the more thoughtful.
