To January 1, 1827. It's almost disgusting how well-read he was at just 17. And a wine drinker to boot!

One wouldn’t know it from the page count, but I’m actually 65 pages in after having read M.R.D. Foot’s superb introduction.

Mark is on page 204 of 345 of The Causes of the War of 1812
This is proving a remarkably clear and thorough explanation of the steps that led to the war. I can see why the book enjoys the reputation that it does.

Mark is on page 184 of 226 of The Golden Spiders (Nero Wolfe, #22)
“A really tiptop murder offers some fine possibilities to a guy who is so devoted to public service that he is willing to take on additional burdens in a wider field.”

Now THAT is a fantastic line!

Mark
Mark is on page 128 of 352 of British Carrier Aviation: The Evolution of the Ships and their Aircraft
