Difficult to read. E-text prepared by Ted Garvin, Graeme Mackreth, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "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 narrative details the author's firsthand experiences and contributions to the naval operations that led to the independence of these South American nations from Spanish and Portuguese rule. It presents a vivid portrayal of military engagements, the challenges faced during wartime, and the political complexities of the era. At the start of the narrative, the author recounts his invitation to command the Chilean Navy in 1817, highlighting the urgent need to counter Spanish naval dominance. Upon arriving in Valparaiso, Dundonald describes a warm reception and his immediate engagement in expeditions aimed at liberating Peruvian territories. He recounts significant events, such as the challenges faced when attacking Spanish forts, the difficulties in commanding a squadron often lacking in resources, and attempts to establish good relations with local populations. His personal struggles, including political intrigue and the mutinous behavior of some crew members, lay the groundwork for a complex depiction of a revolutionary struggle that intertwines valor and political strife.
