"Narrative of Services in the Liberation of Chili, Peru and Brazil" by Thomas, Earl of Dundonald, is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The work chronicles the personal experiences and contributions of Lord Cochrane during the independence movements in Brazil, particularly focusing on naval strategies and battles against Portuguese forces. The narrative details the complex political situations and challenges faced throughout his command, highlighting issues of naval discipline and partisan loyalty that were pivotal to the unfolding events. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the conflict between Brazilian factions seeking independence and those loyal to Portugal during the early 1820s. Dundonald describes the initial discontent in Brazil following the departure of Don Pedro to Portugal and the subsequent rise of independence fervor among the populace, led by figures such as José Bonifacio. Cochrane's role is further established as he arrives in Rio de Janeiro, discusses his terms of service with the Brazilian Emperor, and begins to confront the internal challenges of an undisciplined crew and political intrigue within the Brazilian Navy. The narrative promises a blend of personal insight and broader historical context as it charts the tumultuous waters of naval warfare and revolution in South America.
