Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer Quotes

“The Last Story, McKilt, 1902 p. 108”

Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer

“(Carmine Crocco) From having once been a peaceful shepherd, [he] had become the terror of southern Italy. […] The usual occupation of Crocco's band was robbery of the wealthy Italians of the vicinity, battles with the Italian troops, and the seizure and robbery of rich foreigners, for whose deliverance heavy ransoms were demanded. When a detachment of troops was sent against them, they showed considerable courage. As they knew the country well, with its hiding-places and points of vantage, it was not easy to capture them.”

Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer
