His Tree by Emil DiVago

“History as you never learnt it at school. Travel with DiVago to bring the conquistadors’ gold to the Holy Roman Emperor, fight with him and the Spanish against the French and the corsair Barbarossa to defeat Suleiman and the Ottoman Empire. Share his passion as he makes love to Isabella, Queen of Portugal & Spain. Join the Spanish Armada to invade England and survive being shipwrecked off the Mayo coast. Sail with Granuaile to meet Queen Elizabeth 1 and tell Shakespeare what to write! Go with DiVago in Columbus’ footsteps to the new land, join forces with Santa Anna and attack the Alamo, or be killed on the Texican side with Travis, Bowie and Crockett. Survive the Civil War and ride with the two ‘Bills’: Hickok and ‘Buffalo’. Back at home, rub shoulders with Johnathan Swift, Wm. Butler Yeats and Percy French, even call across the water to chat with Charles Dickens; did I mention fighting against Oliver Cromwell, and sailing across to fight alongside Napoleon Bonaparte. One saintly DiVago even became a Missionary in Africa….the rest, as they say…..is HISTORY.”
