...accounts of the siege by different eye-witnesses, six of whom remain unknown to the present day. Written in the plain matter of fact fashion of the unimaginative colonial they simply set forth the events that took place in the one American expedition of the War of the Austrian Succession. One must not expect to find more than a straight chronicle of the invasion, and as such these journals are indeed adequate...

It would also establish a nice arms smuggling business to the benefit of the Austrian treasury, her railways and the railway employes. A pay cut might not be necessary...
