Summary: "After Waterloo: Reminiscences of European Travel 1815-1819" by Major W.E. Frye is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts Frye’s travels across Europe in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, specifically exploring his experiences, observations, and reflections during the years following Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
