This is the true account of possibly the most remarkable overland journey across the North American continent in the history of exploration.

The author's reconstruction of these adventures is drawn from de Vaca's own journal. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.…

Hardbound. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Description: Dust jacket art by Val Biro. Includes four double sided black and white plates. The publisher's blurb reads: ''In a dungeon-vault beneath the Palace of Khartoum, Gerald Sparrow found an old and heavy brass telescope. It was revealed to be one of four telescopes used by Gordon on the roof the Palace during the siege of Khartoum. The author broadcast on this incident on the B.B.C., and received a large number of letters giving fresh information on the amazing man who became a General in the British Army, a Mandarin of the Chinese Empire, and a Pasha of the Porte. From these small beginnings came research to test whether either of the two schools of writers on Gordon had reached his real character and personality. A large body of Victorian opinion held that Charles Gordon was a saint in soldier's clothing; a more recent outcrop of biography has indulged in an extremity of denigration and held Gordon to be a moral fraud. The author's conclusion in this book is that neither version approaches the truth. An entirely new impression of the little soldier-mystic whose story, for a time was the story of England, and whose legend of unpredictability, courage and compassion still lives.''

Satisfaction Guaranteed. Marthe McKenna (Marthe Mathilde Cnockaert), was a Belgian spy for the United Kingdom and its allies during the First World War. She later became a novelist, and is credited with writing over a dozen spy novels in addition to her memoirs and short stories. World War I - In August 1914, German troops razed the village, burning her home down and temporarily separating her family. Having trained as a nurse, Cnockaert gained a job at a German military hospital located in the village, where she was valued for her medical training and her multi-lingual skills, speaking English and German as well as French and Flemish. She was awarded the Iron Cross by the Germans for her medical service. In 1915, she was transferred to the German Military Hospital in Roulers, where she was reunited with her family who had also moved there after the destruction of their home. Around this time, she was approached by a family friend and former neighbour, Lucelle Deldonck, who revealed to Cnockaert that she was a British intelligence agent, and wished to recruit her to an Anglo-Belgian intelligence network operating in the town. For two years, Cnockaert (codenamed "Laura") used her cover as a nurse and her frequent proximity to German military personnel - at both the hospital and as a waitress at her parents' café - to gather important military intelligence for the British and their allies, which she passed on to other agents in local churches. She mostly worked with two other female Belgian spies: an elderly vegetable seller codenamed "Canteen Ma", and a letterbox agent codenamed "Number 63", both of whom helped her relay messages to and from British General Headquarters. Her exploits during the war included destroying a telephone line which a local priest was using to spy for the Germans; and obtaining details of a planned but cancelled visit by Kaiser Wilhelm II for a British aerial attack. At one stage, her German lodger, Otto, tried to recruit her to spy on the British. Cnockaert attempted to relay harmless but seemingly important information to him for a short time, but when operating as a double agent became too difficult, she arranged for him to be killed. She discovered a disused sewer tunnel system located underneath a German ammunition depot, and placed the explosives herself to destroy the ammo dump; however, this operation led to her exposure and capture when she lost her watch, engraved with her initials, while placing the dynamite. In November 1916, Cnockaert was sentenced to death for her espionage; however, her sentence was commuted to life imprisonment due to her Iron Cross honour. She served two years in a prison in Ghent, and was released in 1918 when the Armistice with Germany was declared, ending the war. After the war - Cnockaert was awarded British, French and Belgian honours for gallantry for her espionage work - she was mentioned in despatches on 8 November 1918 by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in recognition of her intelligence work, as well as receiving a British certificate for gallantry from Winston Churchill; she was also made a member of the French and Belgian Legions of Honour. She married John "Jock" McKenna, a British army officer. Her. …
