Shipping charges apply - weight 3.8 lbs. This correspondence includes letters addressed to the Baron de Mériage (1767-1827), among others. As a commoner, he began his professional life as a regular soldier in the pre-revolutionary French Army, later being elevated to the French nobility and rising to the rank of General. During an illustrious military career, while serving as Maréchal de Champ (Sergeant-Major General) in 1812, he was wounded at Krasnoi during the retreat from Moscow and taken prisoner, only returning to France after the Bourbon Restoration in 1815. His last military action was during the French campaign in Spain in 1823, where he served as Major General with the Army of the Pyrenees. The Mériage family married into that of the Count of Montesquiou, a prominent noble. The letters offer some interesting insights from the family's unique social perspective.
