Bad way to go!

Correct and indeed it would be a bad way to go. Guy didn't even know that death was upon him.

Your question, Lu K.

I think it was the summer of 1854. but I could be wrong.

It was in 1854 and I'm pretty sure it was in November.

November isn't really summer here, but it was 1854.

I'll give it to Pyro since he knew the exact month. Sorry Chronic!
