History Goon Ep. 20: Fred Burnaby

This week we are headed to a couple places we've visited before: England and Africa... Fred Burnaby was born into a family of note. His father was buddies with Dukes and Nobles and higher up in the local Church. Fred was lined up to follow in his fathers footsteps but decided he wanted to live a life of adventure. He would attend college, beat up the locals and eventually became a member of the Royal Cavalry. In his CRAZY AMOUNT OF FREE TIME he picked up some interesting hobbies: Fencing, Boxing, Bodybuilding, Writing and of all things Hot Air Ballooning... This guy is basically old timey Forrest Gump with some of the things and people he runs into in his daily life. Oh... He also eventually gets to go into combat. Even without that part, his life was WILD and deserved to have his story told!
