One of the 28th softcover
It was a decisive historical battle, a turning point in history, and we get to live it out through the eyes and life of Ralph Conway. Ralph's story takes you from his capture by a Dunkirk privateer to the West Indies, where he joins the 28th Regiment. Their service takes them to Ireland, and eventually to the Continent under the command of the Duke of Wellington - to the Battle of Waterloo.
The hero of this story, Ralph Conway, has many varied and exciting adventures. He enters the army, and after some rough service in Ireland takes part in the Waterloo campaign, from which he returns with the loss of an arm, but with a substantial fortune.
Adventure stories don't get any better than this! Plus, the reader is drinking in history without even trying! Even though G. A. Henty authored these books in the late 19th century, and the stories are set hundreds of years before that, the tales he tells are timeless. Bravery, chivalry, heroism, leadership, faithfulness, determination and wisdom abound in these reprints. In some of the stories, the advance or defense of Christianity is also an important part of the story. These books were originally written for boys, but anyone young or old who enjoys a good adventure story will want to read these. Available in hardbound, softcover and "featherweight" (mass market) editions.
Please note that we offer Henty books from two different publishers. We are listing them chronologically regardless of publisher. The hardcovers and softcovers differ in price between the publishers, so they are marked as being either Oregon Institute (O) or Library & Educational Services (L).
We also offer audios from two different companies. Please see descriptions for these products directly after all of the Henty novels.
