It’s Labor day in the US, been a great day to finish the wonderful book Vagabond and now to dive into the Heretic. I’ve shot rabbits with a bow at 50 yards and pheasant in Kansas with a shotgun. Those experiences and a 2 year stint as an Army Officer helps me relate to Thomas, our Archer and Sharpe our Rifleman. Thank you for sharing these characters with us and making history come alive. Also for making this son of a midwest machinist look up those fancy words you use. My teens have enjoyed listing to the Sharpe’s series as we drive across the country to the national parks. Thanks again.
