british country squire john peard first met the legendary italian patriot giuseppe garibaldi on the field of battle. during their introduction, a movement in the austrian lines attracted peard's attention. "pardon me, but there's a devil of an austrian over there who's catching my eye," he declared.
he then insouciantly raised his rifle and fired a shot. every member of garibaldi's entourage trained his field glasses on the austrian, who took a few stumbling paces before falling face down in the dirt.
peard nodded with satisfaction and held out his hand to garibaldi: "good day, general."
