As usual, the Parisians revolted and blockaded the streets on July 27, 1830; among those manning the barricades were army units and former members of the National Guard disbanded in 1827.

 David Pinkney, French Historian
David H. Pinkney was an internationally renowned scholar of French history, noted for his books Napoleon III and the Rebuilding of Paris (1958), The French Revolution of 1830 (1972; translated and published by the Presses Universitaires de France in 1988), and Decisive Years in France, 1840-1847 (1986).
Although Pinkney's scholarly work encompassed the French Revolution of 1789 through modern times, his particular emphasis in his later years was France in the early and middle 1840s.
Wright reflects: "From the founding of the Society for French Historical Studies until his death…, Pinkney's professional career was intimately interwoven with the life of the Society--more closely, indeed, than that of any other American historian of France."
