Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Based on a genuine memoir by an officer named D'Artagnan, Dumas published The Three Musketeers.

The King's Musketeers were formed in 1622 and were populated by young men of noble birth, but often of poorer means. The Musketeers served as a form of military academy, which enabled these men to qualify for commission into the regular army, but the academy was not just a schoolroom - the Musketeers served in all major battles and campaigns of the period; their reputation for bravery was well deserved.
