London England: W. H. Allen, Date: 1967. In 1095, the world was very different from our world today. For those were the days when knights rode forth to battle in heavy armour, and military might determined all things. In that year Peter the Hermit led thousands of men, women and children in a march to Jerusalem to rescue the Holy Land from the Moslems. Each of his followers wore a cross as a sign of membership in what was called the First Crusade. In the next two hundred years, millions of people headed towards Jerusalem on a series of crusades. Some of them kept journals from which we can piece together the full story of their adventures. In this book Anthony West recounts the extraordinary events of those expeditions. This wonderful series for children presents some of the best educational books available. Illustrated throughout, these inviting and entertaining books are easy to read, vivid and factual, and full of adventure and excitement. .Illustrated. Owners name and address on inside cover.
