Introduction
Gerhardt von Hohensee joined the Society in A.S. 47, and picked up the rapier in A.S. 51.
Although historians have managed to recover a page of Gerhardt's memoir, very little is known of this mysterious figure.
Excerpt from "A Criticism of Popular Dueling Methods"
There is a particular trende I have observed amongst the French youth, that of attacking an opponent's foote; and whilst occasionally successful (in a manner of speaking), I cannot recommend this method against any serious adversarie; or, for that matter, against anyone wearing shoes. For whilst a barefoote peasant may be prone to such pedary offense, a respectable master of the dueling arte will be quick to punish any cockamamie comportment.
Fencing Style
Evidence suggests that Gerhardt was a proponent of Italian methods.
Savatore Fabris 1606
On the Subject of Lawns
There are passing references, in the literature, to another work by Gerhardt on the subject of lawn care, and in particular the removal of knaves therefrom, but no copy of this document is known to have survived.
