Quite by accident, the Earth gave up its mysteries to one person as he lay in a rum-induced coma gripping a divining rod. These stories re-tell the history of the area in which these events took place.
I had, at one time, a penchant for overproof rum. Life is full of contradictions, so, of course, at the same time as I developed a craving for rum, I also discovered the joy of water-divining.

The result is an untapped well of historical data that I cannot help but share with my closest friends.
