19th century historians have based their work concerning the war in Spain on these memoirs, yet scholars list Military Memoirs of Capt George Carleton as fiction. Daniel Defoe was a fiction writer, journalist and spy. He was one of the first authors to write a novel. Military Memoirs of Capt George Carleton was published in 1728. The book covers the Dutch war in 1672 to the conclusion at the Peace of Utrecht in 1713. Carleton served both on land and at sea under the reigns of King Charles and King James II. The memoirs cover the War in Spain, residences of Carleton, customs and manners of the places Carleton had lived, the monasteries and nunneries in Spain, and Spanish bull-feasts. The question remains is this memoir fiction or fact? It is generally believed that Military Memoirs of Capt George Carleton is in fact just a good adventure tale and nothing more.-----------------------------------------------------------------** Check Out More Great Titles From Penny Books **-----------------------------------------------------------------Simply click on "Penny Books (Editor)" under the title to see a full list of all of our great discounted books!!New titles are being added daily, so be sure to check back often to find more great discounted books!!**Check out PennyBooksPublishing.com to get more information about Penny Books, learn how to follow us on Twitter, and look at all of our great titles!!
