Despite being of British origin, the author of these pages will take care not to let that fact cause him to go briefly to the wrong in what he may say. Even before the birth of Christ, England served as a type of financial hub. For their tin, the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians traveled there. Sheriffs, priests, judges, police chiefs, plumbers, and justices of the peace were all Druids.Agricola was followed by Carausius, who joined the Saxon pirates and overthrew Diocletian despite being sent to kill them. Before he could ask for assistance, one of his cops killed him.One of the Wessex kings, Egbert, practically ruled Roman Britain. The Northmen (Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes) entered the land; these rather coarse people occasionally caused the Anglo-Saxons to blush.We simply need to point out that this work is in the author's best style and will be both entertaining and educational because it follows the trend of facts and the events, successions, dates, etc. are accurate. Naturally, Mr. Nye's imagination "embellishes" these facts, and the main historical figures are given fascinating roles to play.
American humorist Edgar Wilson "Bill" Nye was born on August 25, 1850, in Shirley, Maine. In 1852, his parents relocated to a farm on the St. Croix River in northern Wisconsin, and he received his education there before attending law school in River Falls, Wisconsin. He moved to Wyoming Territory, where in 1876 he was admitted to the bar in Laramie City. He held positions as postmaster, superintendent of schools, member of the city council, and judge of the peace there. Early on, he began to contribute cartoon characters to newspapers under the pen name "Bill Nye," which was taken from a character in Bret Harte's well-known poem "The Heathen Chinee." He worked for a number of western magazines before relocating to New York City. Luther Burbank and James Whitcomb Riley were among his buddies. He was laid to rest at the Calvary Episcopal Churchyard in Fletcher, Henderson County, North Carolina after passing away in Arpen, North Carolina, from meningitis. He is commemorated by a historical marker in Wisconsin's St. Croix County. In Shirley, Maine, a small memorial commemorates his birthplace.
