Excerpt from Stirring Incidents in the Life of a British Soldier: An Autobiography N the history Of my life and travels before the public, I deem it right to state that I am past the middle age, this I feel compelled to mention, because it is my Opinion that no man should write a history of him self until he has set foot upe'n the border land where the past and the future begin to blend. When the past has receded so far that he can behold it as in a picture, and his share in it as the history of a soldier who has fought for his Queen and country, and had many narrow escapes of death. But, thank God, I have been spared thus far to confess my faults, and my good deeds look miserably poor in my own eyes, indeed, I would no more claim a re ward for them than expect a.
