Description

Richard Ramsay Armstrong's Book of his AdventuresThe life story of Richard Ramsay Armstrong, RN, 1833 1910. 3 years on the Coast of Africa for suppression of the slave trade. Then the Crimea, and 6 months with the Naval Brigade. He survived cholera but was wounded 5 times. Back at home the doctors thought he would die. Instead, he emigrated to NZ, to try farming. It didn't work out, so, he went to be a planter in Fiji. This failed, but he had to survive many hazards: a hurricane wiped him out. Then

The life story of Richard Ramsay Armstrong, RN, 1833 - 1910. 3 years on the Coast of Africa for suppression of the slave trade. Then the Crimea, and 6 months with the Naval Brigade. He survived cholera but was wounded 5 times. Back at home the doctors thought he would die. Instead, he emigrated to NZ, to try farming. It didn't work out, so, he went to be a planter in Fiji. This failed, but he had to survive many hazards: a hurricane wiped him out. Then he was the official at Lord Howe Is. He became the thorn in the side of speculators who got his dismissal on trumped up charges. Back in Australia several schemes failed to make his fortune. He never mentions his family and though he fathered 6 children, he always seems to have been off on some project, giving the impression of a poor family man! This is confirmed by his wife's occasional diary which is included after his work. There are extensive footnotes and a substantial appendix examining some of Armstrong's stories in detail.

Great coffee, fresher than what I find in Seattle stores.
Flavor Name: Major Dickason's Blend, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Always shopped locally for Major Dickason's, looking for sales. Amazon price is good and the exp. date is much farther out than anything on the local shelves.

My 1st peep at Peet’s

I believe that coffee/espresso is a lifelong journey around the world in search of that perfect bean. This coffee is one of few we enjoy. Consistent flavor, true Aroma Therapy whether I grind for Drip, Perculator or Espresso, the flavor profile remains the same. Bravo! 🇺🇸

My Go-To Everyday Joe
Flavor Name: Major Dickason's Blend, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Very rich coffee and not acidic!! So many of the lighter roasts I have tried have a high acidity and I admit maybe I am sensitive to it. Bit this Peet's blend is very consistent, dark roast perfection, flavorful and rich. I am very impressed! Great beans! Cheaper than buying direct from Peet's too.
