Talk:John Gabriel Stedman

Untitled
Hello all--

This page was constructed almost completely from the ground up by the English 404: Black Romanticism class of Spring 2008 at Penn State University. It is the result of hours of research, checked and cross-checked against various academic articles and books about John Gabriel Stedman. Please feel free to help us format it to comply with formal, scholarly guidelines as we learn more about Wikipedia!

The Tiverton Years
Well done Class of 08, this is a very informative entry. I was puzzled by the comment about very little being known about John Gabriel Stedman's later years. I have just read 'John Gabriel Stedman - A Study of his Life and Times' by Stanbury Thompson (published by Thompson & Co., Stapleford, Notts. 1966). This is indirectly referenced at the bottom of the article. It contains an extensive description of the Tiverton years including many letters, his 'accident' and his precise burial place.

 * Hello Nick. I posted most of the Stedman article and the above message.  I revisited this page today by happenstance and found your comment here.  Unless I am mistaken, I'm not sure we had access to Thompson's work in 2008; what you see on this page is the result of the information we had available at the time (which, as you can see, was really quite a bit).  Stedman's final years, including his passing, was one piece of the puzzle that was not mentioned by any of our sources.  As it has been some time since anyone from English 404 has visited this page, I encourage you to include the information yourself!  I'd be more than happy to help you work on the Tiverton Years if you'd like.


 * Are you related to JGS?

This paged is referred to from the 'Order_of_Battle_of_the_Waterloo_Campaign' page
On the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Battle_of_the_Waterloo_Campaign there is link to this page, claiming he was Luitenant-Generaal John Stedman, the commander of the 1st Netherlands Division in the Waterloo campagin. But since he died in 1797 that seems rather unlikely ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.140.132.70 (talk) 07:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, it looks like that link has been corrected and that it was John Andrew Stedman who fought in the Waterloo campaign rather than JGS. Problem corrected and solved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessterlobbs (talk • contribs) 11:42, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
