It just occurred to me. The Napoleanic war was fought between 1803-1815. The Brits were also over here for the War of 1812. Talk about spreading yourself thin! Well, I guess one out of two ain't bad.

Oh, BTW, in case you didn't know, Ben Weider, Joe Weider's brother, was a Napoleonic scholar, and it was he who proved that Napoleon had been poisoned.

I got it! Master and Commander arrived in the mail today! However, I have to put it aside for now. I'm currently reading In the kingdom of Ice by Hampton Sides. The story of the ill-fated 1879 sailing expedition's attempt to reach the North Pole.

No, I've never read "Alone". I have, however read, "Amazon Warriors from Mars".
I've seen the movie, Billyfishy. What I ordered was the book.
