Excerpt from The Creighton Chronicle, Vol. 6: October 20, 1914Here another stage-coach picks you up, a tri¿e more loose j ointed and weather-beaten than the French one, with a pair of jumpy Spanish mules in the harness, and a Spanish Basque, who might have sat for Sancho Panza, handling the reins. I ventured a word to him of the Battle of Roncesvalles. But he said he knew little about it, as it happened years ago, even be fore his grandfather's time, he thought. All he knew was that Carlo Magno and the French got a great drubbing there, and that the Basques taught all Frenchmen to keep out of Navarre.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
