Fifty Miles Round Sulgrave
Author: William Sandford Pakenham-Walsh
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Great Britain
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Sulgrave, the ancestral home of the Washingtons, stands to-day as a symbol of the friendship which has existed for over one hundred years and which should always exist between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race. Thousands from Great Britain, America and from all parts of the earth visit it each summer, and yet many come and go hardly realising how close they are to scenes and places of the greatest historic interest. These twelve short sketches of famous men and women, who lived within a fifty mile radius of the village, are published in the hope that they may prove useful to some of the pilgrims, and may help to create an ever deepening interest in our Common Motherland. -- Pg. iv.
