When Major Gorrequer examined Gour- gaud's papers before his departure, he does not mention the diary in his report. 1 It would be curious if it was really altered, and if all the work of investigation was given to future researchers for the sake of a plan which did not suc...ceed after all. It now remains to find out why this diary is really so valuable, and why it is worthy of being considered apart from all the other memoirs and memorials. In the first place Gourgaud himself must be understood. He was an active, intelligent, and capable officer. In 1811 the report of his chiefs was that he was well-educated and talented, that he had fought well, was capable of observing and of giving an account of what he observed, that he could draw, and talk Spanish and German. 2 He seems to have had an important role several times, particularly at Dresden in 1813.
