SynopsisExcerpt from The Bravest of the Brave: Michel Ney, Marshal of France, Duke of Elchingen, Prince of the Moskowa, 1769-1815 General Bonnal's "Vie Militaire du Marechal Ney," an elaborate work, which reproduces a large number of hitherto unpublished documents from the archives of the French War Office, is the chief authority for the earlier chapters of this life of Ney. So far only two volumes of General Bonnal's work have appeared. They bring the story down to the summer of 1807. Use has also been made of the so-called "Memoirs of Marshal Ney," published by his family; of the memoirs of his aides-de-camp De Fezensac, De Leoncourt and Heymes; of the Count de la Bedoyere's collection of notes on the Marshal's life and family; of M. Henri Houssaye's works on 1814 and 1815; and of M. Weil's very complete study of the trial and execution, with the wealth of documents it contains.
