Excerpt from Letters Inédites du Maréchal Bugeaud, Duc d'Isly (1808-1849): Colligées Et Annotées Ce beau modèle du soldat français intéresse trop vivement notre armée, il en reflète de façon trop intense l'âme généreuse, et il offre un tr0p noble exemple aux militaires de tous les temps pour qu'on ne puisse jamais assez l'étudier, ni examiner assez à fond tout ce qu 'il y avait dans le coeur du glorieux maréchal, de zèle, de noble ambition, d' indomptable courage et de patriotique fierté.

(Next after the greatest military personage of the centur...)
Next after the greatest military personage of the century, Napoleon I., the most perfect is Marshal Bugeaud. Originally published following the disastrous Franco-Prussian War of 1870, and soon after translated into English, these memoirs form a fascinating portrait of the famous Père Bugeaud. Marshal Bugeaud had a long and varied career in the French Army; initially volunteering as a young Vélite of the Imperial Guard he followed Napoleon and his eagles to Austerlitz, Jena and Eylau before a long sojourn in Spain under Marshal Suchet. As a colonel he rallied to Napoleon during the Hundred Days and fought with distinction under his former chief Suchet in the Alps; with the restoration of the Bourbons after Waterloo, Bugeaud like many of his fellow officers retired from the service. Bugeaud happily busied himself with agriculture and local improvements in his native region; however the July revolution of 1830 catapulted him back into the army with the rank of Brigadier. His disapproval of the conquest of Algeria was overcome by his devotion to the new king, Louis Philippe, and he sailed to Africa in 1836. Bugeaud instituted a rapid, brilliant campaign of flying columns to subjugate the native forces under Abd-el-Kader and signed what was intended to be a lasting peace in 1837 before returning to France. Bugeaud returned to Algeria in 1840 as Governor-General, as conflict loomed large; he proceeded with brutal but successful tactics for supressing the incipient revolt and crushed the last opposition to French rule at the battle of Isly in 1844. Promoted to Maréchal de France for his great victory he left a lasting legacy among the officers and men that served under him and across the map of the French Empire. Marshal Bugeaud, Duke of Isly, was certainly a more remarkable man than nine out of ten who have been the idol of a biographer, and his career is fertile in episodes or incidents characteristic of the times, and throwing light on history

(Fighting for Napoleon in Austria, Poland, Spain and the A...)
Fighting for Napoleon in Austria, Poland, Spain and the Alps Thomas Robert Bugeaud was the impoverished son of an aristocratic family which had narrowly escaped the guillotine of the Revolution. Necessity, rather than conviction, forced him reluctantly into the ranks of the Imperial Guard Grenadiers, where his position as a Velite put him on the fast track to higher rank. Bugeaud provides an interesting view of Napoleon's preparations for the invasion of Britain and recounts his experiences afloat in naval actions in the Channel. After Austerlitz and promotion he joins the Line Infantry as an officer. Poland and Pultusk brought battle and wounds. A transfer to Spain with the 116th Infantry flung Bugeaud headlong into the uprising of 1808 in Madrid and the bloody capture of Saragossa, followed by a war to the death with guerrillas until the retreat to France. The First Restoration brought colonelcy in the Bourbon army, but the 100 Days called Bugeaud back to the tricolour for fighting in the Alpine Campaign. From private to colonel in Napoleon's army-the early career of a man who would win his baton in the sands of North Africa.

Thomas Robert Bugeaud was born at Limoges, France on the 15th of October 1784. He came of a noble family of Perigord, and was the youngest of his parents' thirteen children.
Harsh treatment led to Bugeaud's flight from home, and for some years about 1800 he lived in the country, engaged in agriculture, to which he was ever afterwards devoted. At the age of twenty he became a private soldier in the Velites of the Imperial Guard (1804), with which he took part in the Austerlitz campaign of the following year. Early in 1806 he was given a commission, and as a sub-lieutenant he served in the Jena and Eylau campaigns, winning his promotion to the rank of lieutenant at Pultusk (December 1806). In 1808 he was in the first French corps which entered Spain, and was stationed in Madrid during the revolt of the Dos Mayo. At the second siege of Saragossa he won further promotion to the rank of captain, and in 1809-1810 found opportunities for winning distinction under General (Marshal) Suchet in the eastern theatre of the Peninsular War, in which he rose to the rank of major and the command of a full regiment. At the first restoration he was made a colonel, but he rejoined Napoleon during the Hundred Days, and under his old chief Suchet distinguished himself greatly in the war in the Alps. For fifteen years after the fall of Napoleon he was not re-employed, and during this time he displayed great activity in agriculture and in the general development of his district of Perigord. The July revolution of 1830 reopened his military career, and after a short tenure of a regimental command he was in 1831 made a marechal de camp. In his military capacity he was noted for his severity in police work and the suppression of emeutes. His conduct as gaoler of the duchesse de Berry led to a duel between Bugeaud and the deputy Dulong, in which the latter was killed (1834); this affair and the incidents of another emeute exposed Bugeaud to ceaseless attacks in the Chamber of deputies, where he was elected in 1831, and in the press, but his opinion was sought by all parties in matters connected with agriculture and industrial development. He was re-elected in 1834, 1837 and 1839.
About this time Bugeaud became much interested in the question of Algeria. At first he appears to have disapproved of the conquest, but his undeviating adherence to Louis Philippe brought him into agreement with the government, and with his customary decision he proposed to employ at once whatever forces were necessary for the swift, complete and lasting subjugation of Algeria. Later events proved the soundness of his views; in the meantime Bugeaud was sent to Africa in a subordinate capacity, and proceeded without delay to initiate his war of flying columns. He won his first victory on the 7th of July 1836, made a brilliant campaign of six weeks' duration, and returned home with the rank of lieutenant-general. In the following year he signed the treaty of Tafna (June 1st, 1837), with Abd-el-Kader, an act which, though justified by the military and political situation, led to a renewal of the attacks upon him in the chamber, to the refutation of which Bugeaud devoted himself in 1839. Finally, in 1840, he was nominated governor-general of Algeria, and early in 1841 he put into force his system of flying columns. His swiftness and energy drove back the forces of Abd-el-Kader from place to place, while the devotion of the rank and file to "Pere Bugeaud" enabled him to carry all before him in action. In 1842 he secured the French positions by undertaking the construction of roads. After being made Marshal of France in 1843, and in this and the following year Bugeaud continued his operations with unvarying success. His great achievement was victory of Isly on the 14th of August 1844. In 1845, however, he had to take the field again in consequence of the disaster of Sidi Brahim (22nd of September 1845), and up to his final retirement from Algeria (July 1846) he was almost constantly employed in the field. His resignation was due to differences with the home government on the question of the future government of the province. Amidst his other activities he had found time to study the agricultural characteristics of the conquered country. In 1848 the marshal was in Paris during the revolution, but his orders prevented him from acting effectually to suppress it. He was asked, but eventually refused, to be a candidate for the presidency in opposition to Louis Napoleon. His last public service was the command of the army of the Alps, formed in 1848-1849 to observe events in Italy. He died in Paris on the 10th of June 1849.
In 1843 Bugeaud was made marshal of France. His great victory of Isly on the 14th of August 1844 won for him the title of duke. He played an important part in the French conquest of Algeria. Under his regime the number of French colonists had grown from 17, 000 to 100, 000. Bugeaud's innovations and writings continued to be influential among French military leaders engaged in colonial campaigns.
