    “Some time before the Battle of Horetown, in the year of seventeen hundred and ninety eight, there was a young insurgent, who wanted to get a horse.”

    Share Share Post
    He saw a yeoman riding across the fields
    This young man fired at him and killed him. He got up on the horse but he wasn't gone far when he heard some yeoman shouting in the distance
    When the horse heard them he started to run in that direction.
    The young rider tried to stop him but he wasn't able to stop him, he had to shoot him and do without any horse.
