Roving and Fighting: Adventures Under Four Flags is a memoir by Edward S. O'Reilly, detailing his experiences as a soldier and adventurer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. O'Reilly served in the British, American, Cuban, and Chinese armies, and his book recounts his adventures in each of these countries.The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different country or conflict. O'Reilly describes his experiences fighting in the Boer War in South Africa, serving as a cavalryman in the American West, and fighting alongside Cuban rebels in their struggle for independence from Spain. He also recounts his time as a mercenary in China, where he fought in the Boxer Rebellion.Throughout the book, O'Reilly provides vivid descriptions of the battles he fought in and the people he met along the way. He also reflects on the political and social issues of his time, including imperialism, racism, and the struggle for independence.Roving and Fighting is a gripping and insightful memoir that provides a unique perspective on the tumultuous period of history in which O'Reilly lived. It offers a firsthand account of the experiences of a soldier and adventurer who fought under four different flags, and sheds light on the complex political and social issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
