Young William Gale is bound for a life of adventure from the moment he is born! After being kidnapped by gypsies and given over to a workhouse, he is apprenticed to the ship 'Kitty'. There, he barely survives a hurricane, and is shipwrecked with the Malay for ten months before being rescued by a ship sailing for India. The British are at war with Afghanistan in 1879, and our hero quickly decides to enlist. Young Mr. Gale is an incredible asset to the British army, who eventually award him for his bravery; yet not only do his military feats bring rewards, but his personal bravery might bring him a surprise reunion as well. This heirloom edition is beautifully bound with a linen like hardcover, gold stamped cover illustration, and acid free pages.
