Cartagena Or The Lost Brigade: A Story Of Heroism In The British War With Spain, 1740-1742 is a historical book written by Charles W. Hall and first published in 1898. The book recounts the events of the British war with Spain in the years 1740-1742, specifically focusing on the Battle of Cartagena in present-day Colombia. The book tells the story of the British expedition to capture the Spanish city of Cartagena, which was a vital port for the Spanish empire. The expedition was led by Admiral Edward Vernon and included over 20,000 soldiers and sailors. However, the British forces were plagued by disease, poor leadership, and harsh weather conditions. Despite these challenges, the British forces managed to capture the outer defenses of Cartagena. However, they were unable to breach the inner defenses and were eventually forced to retreat. The book focuses on the heroism and bravery of the British soldiers and sailors who fought in the battle, including the Lost Brigade who were left behind during the retreat and forced to fight their way back to safety. Overall, Cartagena Or The Lost Brigade is a detailed and engaging account of a significant event in British military history. It provides insight into the challenges faced by soldiers and sailors during this time period and highlights the bravery and determination of those who fought in the war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
