Product Information
In telling the story of Marengo, Jill Hamilton shows an unexpected side to the Emperor. She explores Napoleon's enormous regard for horses as well as why it was Marengo, and Marengo alone, who became part of the Napoleonic legend - not Jaffa, Ali, Desiree or any of Napoleon's many mounts.Product Identifiers

Marengo2's Review of the Marengo Myth!
As you might deduce from my email address, I am a keen student of all things Napoleonic! This is a very well researched and readable history of Napoleon's string of white horses. The first being named after his first major victory at the battle of Marengo; which also lends its name to the chicken dish the emperor was served on the evening of the victory. The myth is that there was only one Marengo, who survived, having been ridden by Boney at every battle over 17 years of the Napoleonic Wars?! I highly recommend this great little book to all interested in anything Napoleonic. Also see 'Traveller', the story of Robert E. Lee's favourite horse ridden throughout the Civil War. Written by the author of Watership Down and told by Traveller in his own words, and those of his friends, who carried other famous Reb generals!? I kid you not! You will be delighted. J.
