Scenes of 1848 Paris barricades described in vivid memoir
A witness recounts the Great Rebellion of 1848 with detail on barricade construction and combat around St Denis, St Martin, and Denys arches. He notes improvised defenses, varied barricade strength, scattered gunfire, and the sudden carnage as National Guards intervene. The account contrasts sentimentality with brutal reality and reflects on observers’ interpretations.
