Edwin Turner Osbaldeston went from a teenage errand boy in working-class 1850s Great Britain to an international con artists who got away with scores of misdeeds during his 70-year crime spree. He convinced many that he was a doctor, professor, and war hero, claiming to have served gallantly in the Crimean War and fought for the unification of Italy under the command of Giuseppe Garibaldi. In truth, he was a deserter from the British Royal Artillery. Seldom caught, and rarely held accountable, he used his charm, good looks, and resourcefulness to get away with a host of crimes, including murder.

Join author, Ken Siver, as he shares the adventurous life of this scoundrel and international con artist who is also his very own Great Grandfather.
