 Book 3, Chapter 19
André Masséna was born May 6, 1758, at Turbia, near Monaco.
André, however, was of too adventurous a disposition to settle to business, and at the age of thirteen ran away from his uncle's house, and went to sea as a cabin-boy in a merchantman accompanied by a cousin named Bavastro, who became in the wars of the Empire the most famous privateer in the Mediterranean.
As for André, two years of hardship disgusted him with a sailor's life, and in 1775 he enlisted as a private in the Royal Italian regiment, where his uncle Marcel was sergeant-major.

Masséna made his way alone, climbing the steep slope on hands and knees, towards this battalion, and on reaching it addressed the men, assuring them that if they would do as he did, he would get them out of their fix.
But at sight of this new kind of draft, Masséna, shrieking as though his bowels were being torn out, replied to Napoleon that he was the poorest of the marshals, had a numerous family to maintain, and was over head and ears in debt; he regretted, therefore, that he could not send him anything.

 Amnesty International 1998 Annual Report on Guatemala (the Republic of)
In other areas, including San Andrés Sajcabajá, El Quiché department, where exhumations began in April, members of CONAVIGUA, the indigenous widows' organization, were harassed and threatened because they had witnessed massacres in the area or were pressing for exhumations of their relatives from mass graves.
However, those involved in the exhumations of mass burial sites, of which there were an estimated 500 throughout the country, continued to be intimidated, threatened and harassed, apparently by those seeking to prevent responsibility for the massacres from being established, such as former military commissioners and local civil patrol members.
The team had recently begun to exhume a mass grave believed to contain the remains of as many as 100 Kekchí inhabitants of Panzós, Alta Verapaz department, killed by soldiers in 1978, apparently under the orders of a local landowner with whom the villagers were in dispute over land (see Amnesty International Report 1979).

 Women of Waterloo
Marshal André Masséna's mistress had been constantly at his side when he invaded Portugal in 1810-inadequately but delightfully disguised in a dragoon's uniform as one of his aides-de-camp.
But Masséna's mistress was only one of many women who accompanied their menfolk to war during the Napoleonic Era, and had not proved to be such a burden at all.
Unfortunately for the French army, her presence had distracted Masséna, antagonized his subordinates and delayed his army's march.
