Summary: "Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne, 1812-1813" by Adrien-Jean-Baptiste-François Bourgogne is a historical account that was compiled in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the experiences of Sergeant Bourgogne during the Napoleonic Wars, focusing specifically on the harrowing Russian campaign from 1812 to 1813. In this memoir, Bourgogne details the struggles and realities faced by the common soldiers, providing a vivid and personal perspective on war. At the start of the memoir, Bourgogne introduces himself and his early military career as a member of the Imperial Guard. He describes the arduous march from Portugal to Moscow, highlighting the severe conditions, challenges encountered, and the camaraderie among the troops. From thrilling battles to personal anecdotes, including encounters with fellow soldiers and civilians, the opening sets the stage for a gripping narrative filled with both the horrors and humanity found in the midst of conflict.
