Richard Garcia will be signing copies of his new book, which was published on Wednesday this week, at the Gibraltar Heritage Trust shop on John Mackintosh Square tomorrow from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
The book is entitled Ordinary Life in Peace and War, 1749-1783. It is volume 2 of the trilogy that is entitled ‘In the Shadow of the British Fortress of Gibraltar’.
This book covers the period from the arrival as Governor of Lieutenant-General Humphrey Bland in 1749 to the end of the Great Siege in February 1783. It was the first flowering of the Gibraltar civilian community, encouraged by Governors who were firm but fair in the way that they ruled Gibraltar.
