"The Siege of Gibraltar"

[Polly Parrot]

Looking for a book called The Siege of Gibraltar. Unfortunately, I have no idea who the author is.

All I know that it was written before 1921 and that it was published by "Nelson" a publishing house which also published an edition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Great Boer War (1900).

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Held fast for England : a tale of the siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) /
by G. A. Henty ... (Edinburgh, T.Nelson , 1839),

It's on Gutenberg project:

Maybe-
A history of the siege of Gibraltar: With a description and account of that garrison, from the earliest periods
by John Drinkwater
Published by T. Nelson, 1839

A history of the siege of Gibraltar: With a description and account of that ... - John Drinkwater - Google Books
(Although as its published in the same year and by the same company I'm not convinced that it isn't linked to the G. A. Henty book).

There is also: Gibraltar and Its Sieges by Thomas Nelson

Thank you so much!

It might be the Henty one, actually.

Going to the uni library soon to find out. I know they have the Conan Doyle so then at least I'll know for sure which publishing house I need to look for.
