Tirelessly trekking across miles of the Thames' muddy shores, where others only see the detritus of city life, Maiklem unearths evidence of England's captivating, if sometimes murky, history--with some objects dating back to 43 AD, when London was but an outpost of the Roman Empire. From medieval mail worn by warriors on English battlefields to nineteenth-century glass marbles mass-produced for the nation's first soda bottles, Maiklem deduces the historical significance of these artifacts with the quirky enthusiasm and sharp-sightedness of a twenty-first century Sherlock Holmes. 650 0 $a Ragpickers $z Thames River. $z Thames River. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History. 651 0 $a Thames River (England) $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a Thames River (England) $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210622010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F58A026D31F11EBBEBA4D2145ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
