Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 2 volumes in 8vo. xxiii + [1] + 389 + [1]p; vii + [1] + 460p. Frontispiece portrait engraved by [James] Green, 4 folding engraved maps (1 outlined in colour), 5 engraved battle plans (4 with coloured detail). Buckram. First edition. An account of the exploits of William Miller (1795-1861), one of the most dashing and successful commanders in the cause of South American independence, based on his notes and letters, and published with an historical introduction, glossary, and indexes by his brother John. William Miller had served in the Royal Artillery during the Pensinsular Wars and in North America. When peace came, the youthful veteran sought employment in Buenos Aires, where he joined an artillery regiment. In 1818 he distinguished himself in the Chilean campaign commanding the marines on Lord Cochrane s flagship, the O Higgins . In 1822, he came to the aid of General San Martín in Peru with reinforcements, and was promoted General of Brigade in the following year. Miller became a close friend of Simón Bolívar, who had been appointed by congress dictator of Peru in 1823. In recognition of his outstanding contribution as general of division and commander of the patriot cavalry at the battle of Junín in August 1824, Miller s unit was honoured by Bolívar with the title of Húsares de Junín . In the most conspicuous of his gallant exploits, Miller led the charge of this regiment at the decisive battle of Ayacucho in December 1824 which finally freed Chile and Peru from Spanish rule. He later became a Grand Marshal of Peru. The work was reissued the following year both in English and in Spanish translation. Some light offsetting of maps, otherwise a good set.
