Published in 1909, this is the second volume in Trevelyan's trilogy about Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882), the Italian patriot and revolutionary, which began with Garibaldi's Defense of the Roman Republic (1906) and ended in Garibaldi and the Making of Italy (1911). This volume focuses on Garibaldi’s famous victory over the Neopolitan troops with just his 1,000 ragged rebels.
