Author of “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”
THE ADVENTURES OF GERARD
STORIES of the remarkable adventures of a Brigadier in Napoleon’s army. In Etienne Gerard, Conan Doyle has added to his already famous gallery of characters one worthy to stand beside the notable Sherlock Holmes. Many and thrilling are Gerard’s adventures, as related by himself, for he takes part in nearly every one of Napoleon’s campaigns. In Venice he has an interesting romantic escapade which causes him the loss of an ear. With the utmost bravery and cunning he captures the Spanish city of Saragossa; in Portugal he saves the army; in Russia he feeds the starving soldiers by supplies obtained at Minsk, after a wonderful ride. Everywhere else he is just as marvelous, and at Waterloo he is the center of the whole battle.
For all his lumbering vanity he is a genial old soul and a remarkably vivid story-teller.
Illustrated by W. B. Wollen.
