| Introduction | What was I *not* in life? I am a dandy, a wit, an eccentric, a dissolute hanger-on and some-time Equerry to the Prince Regent (later King George IV), a fun-loving boy, an irresolute rake & womanizer; a gambler, a gamester, a trickster, a general carouser and a debtor; I'm a boxer, a bruiser, a hotheaded brawler, a fencer, a duellist; a foul-mouthed curser, an outspoken & honest & plain-spoken man; I make up my own words; I am an officer & a gentleman, an inventor, a coal merchant, a one-time surrogate apple vendor, an author, the youngest son of a baron; I am a steadfast and true friend, and at the end of my years, a loving husband and father. I fought in Tarleton's Legion in the American War of Independence, and was the best d-mn shot in the Army! I have written a number of notable pamphlets, books & letters on military advice. I prophesied the War between the United States (the American Civil War). If you call me Lord, I'll have words with you, sir, --or a cudgel. |
