Mystery of the Ancient Well and the Charge of the Light Brigade
The piece recounts Michel Jacoby researching Alfred Lord Tennyson to uncover the story behind the Charge of the Light Brigade. It traces the historical core to General Sir David Tyson and a Highland regiment, then shifts to a literary plot involving a Calcutta setting, love interests, and a narrator named Michel Jacoby, who discovers fear exists mainly in the mind rather than in the documented facts of war.
