William Francis Patrick Napier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sir William Francis Patrick Napier (December 7, 1785- February 12, 1860), British soldier and military historian, third son of Colonel George Napier (1751-1804) was born at Celbridge, near Dublin. As a military historian Sir William Napier is incomparably superior to any other English writer, and his true compeers are Thucydides, Caesar and Davila. Napier always wrote as if he was burning with an inextinguishable desire to express what he was feeling, which gives his style a peculiar spontaneity, and yet he rewrote the first volume of his History no less than six times. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/William_Francis_Patrick_Napier   (1593 words)

Sir Charles Napier (1782-1853) Napier was five times wounded: his leg was broken by a musket shot, he received a sabre cut on the head, a bayonet wound in the back, severe contusions from the butt end of a musket, and his ribs were broken by a gunshot. Napier then suddenly sallied forth in three columns, moved by forced marches, surprised the tribes, captured thousands of cattle, most of their grain supply, forced the enemy into the hills, and waited at the entrances to the passes for his guns and commissariat. Napier ordered that the native officers, non-commissioned officers, and private sepoys of the 66th regiment should be marched to Ambala, and there struck off the rolls, and that the colours should be delivered to the loyal men of the Nasiri Ghurkha battalion, who should in future be called the 66th or Ghurka regiment. www.historyhome.co.uk /peel/people/napier.htm   (6667 words)

SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER - LoveToKnow Article on SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER His behaviour during the tenure of his command is described by William Napier in his life of his brother, and his inability to hold a command which did not carry supreme authority is plainly portrayed. Napier lived, too, not only in a wild country, which was in a lawless and unsettled state during most of his hfe, but also in a credulous and superstitious age. After Napiers death his manuscripts and notes came into the possession of his second son by his second marriage, Robert, who edited the Constructio; and Colonel Milliken Napier, Roberts lineal male representative, was still in the possession of many of these private papers at the close of the 18th century. www.1911encyclopedia.org /N/NA/NAPIER_SIR_CHARLES_JAMES.htm   (2007 words)

The Descendants of William Napier However, this William Napier has not been placed in that family, and it seems likely he was part of the Scotch-Irish contingent that settled in the Borden Patent at the Forks of the James in the 1740s. He was a contemporary of William Napier, and it is probable, but not proven, that he was a relative, perhaps a brother. By 1782 William Napier was in Washington County, Virginia, and in Lincoln County, Kentucky, by 1785, apparently travelling the "Wilderness Road" into Kentucky. www.snellen.org /napier.htm   (1656 words)

all things William ~ William Lyon Mackenzie King, Speech, Canadian House of Commons (7 July 1942). But when they are all together and they are fighting, despite their bitching and griping and goldbricking and mortal fear, they are facing cold steel and screaming lead and hard enemies, and they are advancing and beating the hell out of the opposition. There's no question that historically the liberties of a people are at greatest risk in times of war, because it is in times of war that people are willing to sacrifice liberty for security and for their country. allthingswilliam.com /war.html   (5566 words)
