A ‘Wicked Looking Revolver’ and $3,000 in Gold: F.R. Bigelow’s Dash to France to Rescue His Family from the Guns of August
Author: Frederic R. Bigelow
It’s an adventure tale and a gripping one. The author was president of St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company in 1914 when his wife and children were caught in Europe by World War I. This is the story of his rushed voyage across the Atlantic to Spain, then through Spain and France to find his family and get them out. Bigelow was resourceful and it helped to be rich.
