I Will Walk With You and the Mount Vesuvius Coin
A first person account recalls a perilous ascent of Mount Vesuvius in August 1860. The narrator and five others encounter a raving maniac guide who tries to push him into the crater. The guide is killed by falling scoria as the narrator survives and recovers with friends’ aid. The old fused copper coin, embedded in scoria, haunts the narrator afterward.
