"It has been my fortune to have met many interesting personalities, seen many interesting places, and done not a few interesting things, and to have been able to indulge in most forms of sport; but I have no tale of great achievements to offer, unless marrying two famous women could be called an achievement -- which I doubt." --Foreword. "Major George Frederick Myddleton Cornwallis-West (14 November 1874 – 1 April 1951) was a British Army officer, historian and writer. He was noted primarily for his marriages, the first to Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of Winston Churchill, and the second to the actress Stella Campbell, who was also known on the stage as Mrs Patrick Campbell. During his marriage to Jennie Jerome Churchill, George Cornwallis-West was noted for being only 16 days older than his stepson Winston Churchill." -- Wikipedia. Includesa a chapter on fishing.
