Apuntes para la Historia de la Revolucion del Peru, Sacados de los Trabajos del Estado-Mayor del Ejercito de Operaciones

Lima, 1824. Good plus.. [4],56pp. Small quarto. Modern paper boards, printed paper spine label. Minor worming to initial leaves, repaired, slightly affecting text. Light tanning and scattered foxing. Scarce royalist account of military operations in Peru during the early 1820s, during which time colonial forces under Viceroy José de la Serna recaptured much of Peru before their ultimate defeat by Bolivar and Sucre at Ayacucho. The author, Andres Garcia Camba, was a brigadier general in the colonial army, and ultimately became Captain General of the Philippines during the 1830s. This account follows the royalist campaign until the recapture of Lima in (truncated) late 1823, and gives the final positions of the armies in early 1824 when the colonial army was ascendant. OCLC locates four copies in U.S. institutions, at Yale, Notre Dame, Connecticut, and the JCB.
