This was written by Alfred Hutton in 1901. He was an English military man and fencing teacher in a time when swords still came out to play. Lots of good stories taken from other sources on mostly duels and the dirty tricks used like hiding mail under your shirt. He doesn't have a bibliography, but usually mentions the source as De Grassi or Silver, etc. He had a nice personal collection of weapons that are illustrated in pen and ink as well. A fencer would probably find this even more interesting than I did. - Matthias , posted 11/19/05 |
