Описание: "Catherine Exley was born in Leeds in 1779. Aged thirty, she boarded a ship and sailed for Portugal. Her memoir of the years she spent following the 34th Regiment is unique, the only first-hand account of the Peninsular War by the wife of a common British soldier. Published shortly after her death as a booklet which has since been lost, Catherine's Diary survived in a local newspaper of 1923 to be rediscovered by her great-great-great-grandson. It is difficult today to comprehend the hardships Catherine endured: of her twelve children, three died as infants while with her on the march; her clothes, 'covered with filth and vermin', often went unchanged for weeks at a time, and she herself more than once almost died from illness and starvation; shocked at the mutilation inflicted by muskets and cannons, she still had the composure to manhandle blackened corpses upon a battlefield in search of her missing husband when hardened soldiers could no longer stomach the task. Her diary is reproduced here along with chapters which bear upon Catherine's experiences in Spain and Portugal, and which put her life and writings in their social context."

Описание: Jason became a man at age eleven, working for his father in the woods, driving a team of horses. He also became the camp meat provider, shooting moose and deer to feed the crews. He soon developed a notorious reputation for poaching and an uncanny ability to talk his way around most encounters with the local game warden. For thirty years Jason was relentlessly pursued by Mos Jalbert, the local game warden. The times were hard and money was scarce. Mos developed his own system for handling poachers. A voice echoed in the stillness of the night, ". . .take it all and don't let me hear about it in town " The courts worked fine, but few wanted to come under the scrutiny of Mos Jalbert. Mos decided to retire after thirty years and coincidentally, Jason too retired from the woods and stopped his poaching (some). The most eloquent caper will manifest itself when Jason skins the granddad of all bucks and finds the ole Fox's deviltry.
