...with his satchel up to the rambling country house of his prospective Swedish father-in-law. In the nine years of Astrid's married life she gave Belgium three royal children: Princess Josephine Charlotte, now 10; Crown Prince Baudouin, 7; and Prince Albert, 3. Significant of the deep bond known to unite Astrid and Leopold was the insistence of the palace chamberlain on talking to her the night he telephoned to a resort hotel in Switzerland the terrible news that King Albert had been killed by a fall while mountaineering in one of the few rocky districts...

Forced labor was used and few except the conquered Indians and their masters knew the exact location of the mines. Along mile-high precipices, over the backs of peaks twice that height, the laborers toiled with bags of nuggets. Llamas could carry only 100 Ib. through that rarefied air, burros-even though an extra set of nostrils had been punched through their nasal passages at birth-about...
