Summary: "Waterloo Days: The Narrative of an Englishwoman Resident at Brussels in June, 1815" by Charlotte A. Eaton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work describes Eaton's personal experiences and observations during the crucial days leading up to the Battle of Waterloo, focusing on the atmosphere and events in Brussels just before the pivotal conflict that shaped European history. The narrative offers a vivid perspective on the chaos, anticipation, and sentiments of those who lived through this historic moment, engaging readers with emotional and detailed recollections. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the lead-up to the battle, detailing Eaton's journey with her siblings from England to Brussels, accompanied by notable figures such as Major Wylie.
