Two essential bibliographical resources
While surfing through the Napoleon-Series Forum, I have found two posts for Steven H. Smith (of course!), giving two essential bibliographical resources for the Napoleonic era in general, and the Campaign of Leipzig in particular.
The first is related with one of the translations found in the Mark's Conrad page about Russian Military History: the Volume X of Viskovatov , covering the uniforms of 'Grenadiers, Musketeers, Jägers, Marines, and Carabiniers' from 1801 to 1825. The plates are located here, hosted in Memorandum, a Russian site that can be viewed through Babelfish.
The original Steven's post in Napoleon-Series Forum can be also found here.
The other resource are several links to 'Der Krieg in Deutschland und Frankreich in den Jahren 1813 und 1814' by Carl von Plotho. 3 vols. Published by C. F. Amelang, 1817. You can find all the links here, or copy and paste the followings addresses
Vol 1:

The books are printed in gothic characters and are not easy to read (at least for me!), but the OOB, located at the end of each book, are easier to follow.
Enjoy!
