Standard Bearer a Story of Army Life in the Time Of Caesar

Commentaries of Caesar. On reading the account of the standard bearer who so boldly led the legions at the first landing in Britain, the young people expressed considerable wonder as to the personality of that hero, making many conjectures as to his origin, his deeds in the army, and his promotion. It then occurred to the author that a story might be written which would give an accurate picture of the Gallic campaigns, and lend character, individual and national, to the chief actors. This book is an effort at such a story. Much reading and study have gone to its making. While there has been a constant ef Fbrt to portray the customs and beliefs of Rpmans, Gauls, Germans, and Britons, it is hoped that the characters and incidents Tj are not hidden under loads of glaring facts as to Ncustoms and habits. The author further hopes that the story is presented in English which is pure and forceful, and in some degree, attractive.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
