The Grave and Odd Anecdotes From the Era
A miscellany piece blends Rosengarten translated verse on the grave with short tales and sketches. It recounts a 1798 Irish invasion anecdote from Dingle about a coffin hiding money and a modern English reflection on female bravery via Captain Barclay. Other notes cover a daring suicide attempt beside Windsor, a Mexican veteran’s trials, and a long Price family duel history in New York.
