description: Excerpt from A Journal of a Residence in the Esmailla of Abd-El-Kader: And of Travels in Morocco and AlgiersFrom wounds received I passed the Medical Board as unfit for service in the Infantry and although according to the Spanish Articles of War I was entitled to be passed to a cavalry regiment yet I declined solely for the above reasons as I should have been equally under the command of my former antagonists. I therefore retired from the service with the full intention of proceeding to Tegedempt to join the Emir Abd-el - Kader whose glorious re sistance against the united power of the French nation inspired me with admiration at that time only considering him in the light of an Arab chief.
