| 520 | _a"The Fishguard Invasion by the French in 1797" by Margaret Ellen James is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts a remarkable incident of the French invasion that took place in Pembrokeshire, Wales, detailing the people’s response and the subsequent events that transpired during this tumultuous time. Central to the narrative is the perspective of Daniel Rowlands, the Vicar of Llanfiangelpenybont, who is both a participant and commentator on the unfolding drama involving local residents and foreign troops. The opening of the book introduces the serene yet deceptive setting of Fishguard on a beautiful February day in 1797, soon shattered by the alarming news of a French invasion. Daniel Rowlands, the young protagonist, learns from a frantic messenger that French ships are approaching, triggering an excited response among residents who gather to witness this unforeseen event. As the French frigates land and soldiers disembark, the local people, including Rowlands, react with a mix of curiosity and fear. The narrative captures the chaotic atmosphere of the moment, setting the stage for the ensuing struggle as the inhabitants of Fishguard prepare to defend their homeland against the invaders.
