Works
Gourgaud's works are:
- La Campagne de 1815 (London and Paris, 1818);
- Napoléon et la Grande Armée en Russie
- Examen critique de l'ouvrage de M. le comte P. de Ségur (Paris, 1824)
- Refutation de la vie de Napoleon par Sir Walter Scott (Paris, 1827)
He collaborated with Montholon in the work entitled Mémoires pour servir a l'histoire de France sous Napoleon (Paris, 1822–1823), and with Belliard and others in the work entitled Bourrienne et ses erreurs (2 vols., Paris, 1830); but his most important work is the Journal inédit de Ste-Hélène (2 vols., Paris, 1899), which is a remarkably lifelike record of the life at Longwood.
