- Experience vivid scenes of riding, hunting, and the quiet rituals of a life lived in the shadow of history.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This is a stirring memoir exploring the tragic life of an unforgettable military man. Allan MacDonagh, known as the Last of the Comets, was a man of noble character, joining the Black Horse cavalry at a time when men were most abundantly rewarded for less. Though he showed natural ability and an aptitude for leadership, unfortunate circumstances and the shadows of his past dogged him relentlessly. One of history's almost-men, his trajectory from promising young Cornet to unfulfilled promise is a poignant testament to both the randomness of life, and the impact of human agency in the face of adversity.
