Blind Jack of Knaresborough by Arnold Kellett
Jack Metcalf was blinded by smallpox at the age of six, but he did not let this stop him from leading an astonishing and adventurous life - becoming an expert horseman, gambler and guide. He eloped at the age of twenty-one; ran numerous enterprises; joined the military as a musician, and led the Yorkshire Blues onto the battlefield at Culloden.
Dr Arnold Kellett is a well-known local historian and author of eight previously published works. An expert on Blind Jack, he has contributed to three radio shows on the subject. He is a former mayor, and now freeman, of Knaresborough and is the winner of the Yorkshire History Prize.
