Shadow of Death Tiger Feasts in Indian Valley
In 1867 the tiger of Saugar, India, terrorized Jubbulpoor region, killing 19 people and abducting many, as hunters and soldiers pursued across 400 miles. A lone hyena startled the beast, and a passing bullet struck the tiger’s brain, ending the terror and sparking a valley-wide celebration.

It recounts Bismarck’s quip that Gambetta “works upon the nerves of Europe” like a drum in a sickroom, and mentions his later formation of a new French ministry and foreign portfolio.
