| | Wellington had concentrated the bulk of his force around this latter crossing point, expecting Soult to make an attempt to relieve San Sebastian. | | | The French themselves were left in total disarray and a furious Napoleon ordered Joseph to relinquish his command of the army. | | | His suspicions that Wellington had over-extended himself were well founded for while 10,000 Allied troops under Graham lay siege to San Sebastian the rest of the 60,000 Allied troops between there and Pamplona were expected to hold a front some fifty miles long. |

| | The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Midsummer Drive Through The Pyrenees, by Edwin Asa Dix |
| | This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. | | | The Pyrenees seem to echo the motto of their old counts, "Touches-y, si tu l'oses!" the name seems to stand vaguely for untested discomforts, for clouds and chasms, and Spanish banditti in blood-red capas; to be, in a word, a symbol of an undiscovered country which would but doubtfully reward a resolve to discover. | | | The world is not, after all, so securely merged from the darkness of the Dark Ages. |
