Part horse, part toad, part turtle and part crocodile, he's the oddest-looking creature Kirstie's family has ever seen.
Separated from his regiment during a retreat, Rifleman Matthew Dodd of Wellington's army engaged the French single-handedly and eventually causes their retreat. If you liked "The Gun," you will love this book.
