Produktinformationen zu „Brompton (ePub)“
Brompton traces the life of a nineteenth century soldier who served in the British Army at the height of English rule. It interlocks with historical accuracy the story of Ireland, the formation of Englands Standing Army and life as it was in a Regiment. A mix of discipline, passion, struggle and personal triumphs.
From Portugal to Australia to India with his regiment, William Smith endures campaign hardship, tragedy and tropical illness. He remarries and is repatriated back to Ireland, but his retirement coincides with Irelands crisis, the 1840s famine. Acceptance into the Royal New Zealand Fencible Corps offers a new life establishing the colony of New Zealand. His legacy to the country is found in the solid infrastructure that survives from Auckland and Onehungas humble beginnings and the meticulous genealogical research into Williams numerous descendants.

Autoren-Porträt von Sandra-Faye Nagy
A native of New Zealand, Sandra-Faye Nagy, has lived in Canada for more than forty years. Her forefathers arrived in New Zealand as either early settlers or with a military posting. An introduction to genealogy began with the ‘Peopling of Polynesia’ and developed into a lifelong interest of tracing both individual heritage and the history of people in general. Through her career with Canadian Airlines, she traveled the world enlarging an appreciation for different cultures and the deeper ancestral roots of the world’s population. Her family tie with Britain was a natural fit to understanding the growth of England’s vast empire.
