Drummer Boy Hero of Castarza Siege

A vivid excerpt tells how a drummer boy supports a siege at Castarza on July 24 154.

Sixpence and a dying boy find angelic rescue in grim tale

A starving boy clutches a single sixpence as hunger drives him through a grim street to a cook shop.

The scene shifts to other era notes about Arctic rail ambitions and a health anecdote about Mr Gould, weaving stark contrasts between hope and decay.
