Mr. Cornwell, After having picked up my first Sharpe book about six months ago, I got “hooked” on Napoleonic Warfare. I read the entire series (absolutely loved it) and am in the process of reading the Alexander Kent novels about Richard Bolitho (if you haven’t heard of these books, I highly recommend them to you. They are similar in nature to Sharpe’s Trafalgar, as they are naval based) In any event, I am a Senior in High School and an International Baccalaureate (I.B.) candidate. This means that I have to write an extended essay of a topic of my choice. Naturally, (still having Sharpe Fever) I decided to write about the Napoleonic Wars. My essay’s “purpose” is to ascertain what the most important factor was for the British victory on land. I suspect it is one of the three areas, but I am not sure yet (after all, I haven’t written the paper!): los guerrillos, the riflemen, and the British Tactics (two ranks instead of three, training with live powder, etc) Unfortunately, I am having a great deal of difficulty finding sources, as neither my school or local library has much information on this topic. Although I realize you have some of your sources in the back of your books, I am fairly sure that you used many more than you were able to list. If you have a list of sources I might be able to acquire by Inter-library Loan, I would DEEPLY appreciate your sending them to me, especially the source for Hagman’s incredible 700 yard shot (I know you put this source in the back of a book, but I can’t seem to find the book). Sincerely, Cameron Crawford
