Dear Mr. Cornwell, Just finished your latest book ‘The Fort’ and found it an enjoyable read. Your ability to weave historical fact and fictional characters into a succession of novels is truly remarkable. I think I have read all you books, including those of the indefatigable Mr. Sharpe. Thanks to the internet I was able to Google Castile, ME and see the locations described in your novel. I was disappointed that your Historical Note did not mention that what appears to be a baseball diamond has been constructed in the middle of Fort George! Regards, Jeffrey Lerbs
