About this book
A voice from Waterloo, subtitled A History of the Battle Fought on the 18th June, 1815, is by Edward Cotton. A notice says the Hotel du Musée, at the foot of the Lion Mount, is kept by a niece of the late Sergeant-Major Cotton and is situated in the very centre of the field of Waterloo.
The text says the French were in possession of Charleroi by eleven o’clock, and that Blücher had established his head-quarters at Sombreffe. The text says Lord Uxbridge was ordered to get the cavalry together at the head-quarters (Ninove) that night. A text signed Wellington and given at head-quarters, Malplaquet, June 22d, 1815, says that all persons abandoning their homes after our entry into France, or absenting themselves in order to serve the usurper, shall be looked upon as his partisans and our enemies, and that their property shall be confiscated and applied to the maintenance of the troops. A passage mentions the rush of riderless horses and the dying and the dead scattered among the trampled corn.
