These two sensational pamphlets were prompted by the 1847 death of Dr. John Wilson who, under the name of "Captain Thunderbolt," was one of the most notorious British highwaymen of the 1810s. Actually an Englishman named John Doherty, Thunderbolt was known for the speed of his robberies, his courtesy to his victims, and his refusal to steal from women. During his celebrated criminal career, he teamed with an Irishman named Michael Martin, whom Doherty dubbed "Captain Lightfoot." About 1818 both emigrated from England to the United States and parted ways. Doherty took the name of Dr. John Wilson and lived a quiet existence for twenty-nine years as a doctor in Brattleboro, Vt. Martin, who continued his life of crime, was caught in Springfield, Ma. and hanged in 1821. Wilson's true identity was not disclosed until after his death.

Driven: From Homeless to Hero, My Journeys On and Off Lambeau Field (Hardcover IN DUST JACKET-CONDITION GOOD SIGNED BY DONALD DRIVER-SIGNED BY PREVIOUS OWNER AS WELL-COPYRIGHT 2013-FIRST EDITION) by Donald Driver, Peter Golenbock The legendary NFL receiver, all-time receptions and yards leader for the Green Bay Packers, and Dancing with the Stars champion looks back on his life and career. When he was picked in the seventh-round of 1999 NFL draft, Donald Driver couldn t find Green Bay on a map. He was given little chance of making the Packers roster, much less of amassing over 10, 000 yards in his career and becoming a Super Bowl champion. But in an unlikely journey, Driver has overcome obstacle after obstacle to become one of the most successful players in the NFL. Now, for the first time, Driver recalls his time growing up in Houston, spending nights living in a U-Haul trailer with his mother and stealing cars and selling drugs with his brother to get by. He recalls what it was like to walk into the locker room as a little-regarded prospect out of Alcorn State, an athlete who one year earlier thought his future was in high jump rather than football, and why he would have never made the team without the support of General Manager Ron Wolf. With the help of his winning speed, skill, not to mention, smile, Driver became one of Brett Favre's most-trusted targets and a fan favorite at Lambeau. (Though it took some time for him to perfect his Lambeau leap. ) Driven takes you inside the locker room with Favre, shares his experiences with Reggie White, and recalls his more recent role as a veteran leader for like Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings during their Super Bowl run in 2010. Over 14 years Driver has been through it all game winning touchdowns, crushing playoff defeats, frightening injuries, and the glory of the Super Bowl. Traveling off the field, Driver discuss his relationship with his wife and three children: how uncertain they were when he undertook the relentless training necessary to become a champion on the 2012 season of Dancing With the Stars, and how supportive they are of his charity work and service to God. Driver retired on his terms after 14 years in the NFL: as a Packer for life. Driven is the definitive story of Donald Driver s extraordinary journey., Crown Publishing Group, Division of Random House Inc, 2013, 3<
