Excerpt from Memoirs of Marshal Oudinot, Duc De Reggio: Compiled From the Hitherto Unpublished Souvenirs of the Duchesse De Reggio by Gaston Stiegler and Now First Translated Into English by Alexander Teixeira De Mattos

Nicolas Charles Oudinot sprang from the country of the Meuse, contiguous to Champagne and Lorraine, which the proximity of the foreigner and the constant threat of invasion keep in a perpetual fervour of patriotism. He was the son of a respectable brewer, and his uncle on the mother's side was M. Adam, Mayor of Bar-le-Duc, his native town. The house in which he was born, on the 25th of April 1767, is a dwelling of gloomy appearance, situated in the lower town, which contains the business quarters.
