The Life of Gordon Volumes 1 and 2, written by Demetrius Charles Boulger and published in 1896, is a biographical account of the life of Charles George Gordon. Gordon was a British army officer and administrator who served in various parts of the world, including China, Sudan, and India, during the 19th century. The book chronicles Gordon's life from his early years in England to his military service in China during the Taiping Rebellion, his role in the suppression of the slave trade in Sudan, and his final days as governor of the Sudanese city of Khartoum, where he was killed during a siege by rebel forces. Boulger draws on a variety of sources, including Gordon's own writings, to provide a detailed and engaging portrait of this complex and fascinating historical figure. The Life of Gordon is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British imperialism, military history, or the life of one of the most intriguing figures of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
