Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Afloat and Ashore With Sir Walter Raleigh ´A man so various that he seemed to be Not one, but all mankind´s epitome.´ The brilliant and versatile courtier, soldier, and statesman, known to us as Sir Walter Raleigh, was born in 1552 at Hayes, in Devonshire. His father was a simple country gentleman, and his childhood was passed within sight and sound of those waves which were to form in after life his path to profit, adventure, conquest, glory, and disgrace. While still very young he was sent to Oriel College, Oxford, by his father, but he did not remain there long. In 1569 he left it, and began his military education by enrolling himself in a troop of gentlemen volunteers, who were raised to assist the Huguenots in France by one of his near kinsmen.
