Without a Throne, History in Brief of the Late Count of Paris
The article traces Comte Louis Philippe Albert de Paris, heir to a disputed French throne, his exile after 1830, and service as a volunteer with General McClellan during the American Civil War. It notes his resignation amid Franco-Mexican tensions, and outlines his son Louis Philippe Robert as a current royal claimant, unlikely to gain a throne.
