Garibaldi and Rio Grande do Sul’s War of Independence from Brazil—
The Memoirs of Luigi Rossetti, John Griggs, and Anita Garibaldi, by William Rosenfeld,Dante University Oress, ISBN 9780937832530 Paperback $19.95; ISBN 9780937832547 E-Book
Garibaldi, of course, is best known as the Father of Modern Italy. Few people know, however, that President Lincoln sought Garibaldi’s services on behalf of the Union Ar-my. Fewer people know that Garibaldi also fought many land and naval battles in Bra-zil.
Anita Doarte, Luigi Rossetti, and John Griggs were Garibaldi’s closest comrades dur-ing Rio Grande do Sul’s War for Independence from Brazil—Garibaldi’s formative years as a military leader. Because none of the three left a memoir, Professor William Rosenfeld wrote one each for them, as they were Garibaldi’s closest comrades. To help set the three memoirs in their proper historical context Professor Rosenfeld invented one additional voice, that of a scholar-editor, who furnishes the context for each memoir. To make Garibaldi’s life come alive historically, the author also includes exhaustive chronologically excerpts from Garibaldi’s own memoirs. Garibaldi’s story comes alive as in no other book about this international hero.
