Synopsis
Excerpt from Wager of Battle: A Tale of Saxon Slavery in Sherwood Forest
But I neither arrogate to myself the wisdom of imagining how this is to be peacefully brought about in the lapse of ages, nor hesitate to dissent from the intemperance of those who would cut the Gordian knot, like Alexander, with the sword, reckless if the same blow should sever the sacred bonds that consoli date the fabric of the Union.
