Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The full story of the riots in the Forest of Dean in 1831, and how they were suppressed, is told here for the first time. The book also gives the background to the riots; it discusses the simple lives of the foresters before the arrival in Dean of the Industrial Revolution, and how they lived in the Forest, pasturing their animals there and using it as if it was their own.
