An excellent account of the Battle at Waterloo. I for one like to believe that Marshal Ney's execution was staged and he died, an old professor, in North Carolina. Peter Stuart Ney's final words on 15 November 1846 were said to be "I will not die with a lie on the lips. I am Marshal Ney of France". It's simply fascinating to think that this 77-year-old schoolmaster was actually Michel Ney, "bravest of the brave".
