General Gordon 1833 to 1885
My name is Paul Mersh. I am carrying out research into the work of General Gordon in Gravesend from 1865 to 1871.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has the following:
a) letters and diaries from this period, especially if they relate to Gravesend.
b) newspaper cuttings from this period.
c) papers relating to charities and churches in Gravesend during this period.
d) family memories of Gordon.

If you have an of these either e-mail me or phone me on:
01634 714518

An answerphone is fitted.

I have now completed some work on Gordon, inlcuding a chronology, a brief biography and a discussion paper on his behaviour. These can be found by clicking on the link.
This link also includes some useful background material written by other authors.
