Today on Murderhobos, Scottish duellist, adventurer, gambler, procurer, and gladiator Donald McBane, whose experiences as an enlisted soldier from 1689 to 1710 spanned three wars in three decades, including brothel keeping, running gambling tents, and fighting duels against peers, only to culminate as a professional champion in the Bear Gardens of peacetime England. What can McBanes experiences teach us about military life at the turn of the 18th century, and about the tumultuous life of non-soldiers in an army on the move?
