Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show.

I will have episode nine of my reading of my confession, Recollections of a Rogue by Samuel Chamberlain.

And you can listen to my other readings of this on my podcast.

That's history books read by William Ramsey. So I have all the books

that I've read all in one spot. I'll put a link to it on my social media. You can check out

some of the other things I've read. Bernal Diaz's conquest of New Spain, amongst others.

They're all historical documents. Historical documents about Gilles de Rai, the 16th century French occultist,

among other things.

So check those out.

And thank you for listening.

So again, we're starting off.

This is episode 9 and going to chapter 32, guerrilla hunting.

I was again reduced to the ranks for being absent without leave and found on my

return to camp that I've been reported as a deserter for I've been absent five days,

five days of desperate riding and hunting,

with despair driving me almost to madness.

My distress of mine was so great that the officers neither sent me to the guardhouse nor put me on duty.

They almost have felt guilty in delivering her up to such a fearful death.

I tried to drown my agony by drinking deeply, but I could not drive her dear image from my mind.

I dwelt constantly on my great loss.

In my sleep, I would see her struggling with the fiends and hear her calling to me to save her.

Bitterly, I cursed myself for not shooting dejo in the first place but regrets were useless and el tuerto still lived a chance came at last for revenge
