Description
Abstract:Immediately following the fall of Napoleon after Waterloo, the Bourbons regained power in France and, among others, Marshal Ney and Colonel La Bedoyere went to trial. The trials were instruments of revenge, and both Ney and La Bedoyere were apparently shot. However, legends exist stating that Ney escaped execution and lived in secret in the United States. This thesis presents for the first time trial accounts of Ney and La Bedoyere taken from a journal or diary of the period, and it also presents an historical context for the trials and an exploration of the legends surrounding Ney in America.
