Alexander Gardner - adventurer, frontiersman and soldier is probably one of the most interesting men to have ever lived.
This American explorer and warrior travelled through central Asia and then fought for the Sikh Empire of the great Ranjit Singh.

If you disagree with things I say in this video then that's perfectly fine but please supply legitimate sources and not knee jerk emotions. I'm here for friendly exchanges of knowledge, not for arguing. "They were written by the British" is factually correct and I'll take that on the chin, but its also not the strongest of arguments.
Below are affiliate links to two books about the man:
Flashman and the mountain of light (fiction but very good) - https://amzn.to/3uHttTW
