Transcript

Soap was accidentally discovered by the ancients when the Greece from the animals on their sacrificial altars dripped through and mixed with the wood ashes of the altar logs, believe it or not. In a moment I'll tell you about the greatest soldier of fortune of them all.

Charles James Patrick Mahan was the last of the fabulous Irish gentlemen adventurers. He served six terms in the British Parliament, fought thirteen jewels and accumulated more active army ranks than any other mortal. He was a colonel in the Irish militia and in the armies of Turkey, Russia, Austria, France, Brazil, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, and the United States.

Also a general in Uruguay and a Chilean admiral. Believe it or not.
