Abstract
José María Blanco White came from a family of distinguished and enlightened military officers. They included Brigadier Felipe de Neve, the founder of modern California; his nephew the soldier poet Antonio Crespo y Neve, an aide to Bernardo de Gálvez; Fernando Blanco White, José María’s younger brother, captured at the battle of Somosierra, who kept a vivid record of his escape from prisoner-of-war camp in France and journey to freedom, and Ferdinand White, an idealistic British officer who saw service in Tasmania and India and whose letters to his father are a major source for the history of the disastrous First Afghan War.
