I have passed the site so many times and knew something had happened in the vicinity and it's great to know exactly what happened.<br /><br />I love those little human stories that bring the history to life. It was certainly quick thinking to chuck the money.<br /><br />The illustrations come from an old book in my collection; a 1983 first edition hard back "The English Civil War 1642-51, An Illustrated Military History" by Philip Haythornthwaite, the pictures were done by Jeffrey Burn, and continue to inspire me to get around to putting an ECW collection together at some time.<br />carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-83870381615414893452015-12-23T06:01:15.946-08:002015-12-23T06:01:15.946-08:00Continued interesting history and battle tours, Jo...Continued interesting history and battle tours, Jonathan! What is the source of your uniform illustrations? I have seen them before but do not recall from where. If the Roundhead horse had been less focused on money, they could have bagged a few more Cavaliers! Great story.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
