Mr. Bonaparte of Corsica (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530136025)

Mr. Bonaparte of Corsica is a classic Napoleon Bonaparte biography by John Kendrick Bangs. Napoleon's father, Charles Bonaparte, was the honored progenitor of thirteen children, of whom the man who subsequently became the Emperor of the French, by some curious provision of fate, was the second. That the infant Napoleon should have followed rather than led the procession is so foreign to the nature of the man that many worthy persons unfamiliar with the true facts of history have believed that Joseph was a purely apocryphal infant, or, as some have suggested, merely an adopted child; but that Napoleon did upon this occasion content himself with second place is an incontrovertible fact.
