When one thinks of Civil War Generals, an eccentric Englishman named Sir Percy Wyndham hardly comes to mind; yet the American Civil War was replete with soldiers from around the world, seeking the next great adventure. The year is 1878 and Sir Percy Wyndham has encountered many an international battlefield. He rioted in the streets of Paris; landed on the shores of Sicily with Giuseppe Garibaldi; led American Unionist Cavalry against the Rebels of Virginia; and, lately, has taken up ballooning in Rangoon! Wherever there is war, there are bound to be professional soldiers, ready to fight with an army that offers the greatest boon and bounty. Some may call them "mercenaries," while others fancy Soldiers of Fortune. Darrell Rivers is a historian specialising in 19th Century British & American Military History.
