UPDATES ARE ADDED OFTEN, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON.
WE HAVE ADDED A D'ARTAGNAN / MUSKETEER STORE !!!!
I believe that d'Artagnan has appeared in more film than any other Swashbuckler in movie history, yet too often he is ignored by today's public - not so only a few years back! However, he is still riding tall in his musketeer's saddle in such recent films as "The Three Musketeers," starring Chris O'Donnell, "The Man in the Iron Mask," and the more recent "Musketeer." Disney, once again, has rather recently taken another 'stab' at him in their animated rendention of "The Three Musketeers."
UPDATES!! Check out the new page on Ralph Nevill, and the Musketeer History Page has been updated.
To view some interesting readings on d'Artagnan, and of those who surrounded his life, please click on the following links:
THE REAL D'ARTAGNAN : This page takes a look at the real man behind the legend.
ATHOS, PORTHOS, ARAMIS, and the MUSKETEERS : Here we learn of d'Artagnan's three famous friends, and history about the real Musketeers. UPDATED.
17th CENTURY BIOGRAPHIES : Here I cover small biographies of every character (real or fictional) who has crossed d'Artagnan's path some time or another. (List is not complete yet, but I am still working on it.)
THE THREE D'ARTAGNAN'S : Three d'Artagnan's? Yep, there were three of him. Is that right? Well, read and find out.
HOAX!!! : Did some d'Artagnan authors really try to hoax their readers? But why? And what about? I reveal that on this page. Also, read the actual Prefaces of these authors!
ALEXANDRE DUMAS: King of the Musketeers' stories! A page dedicated to the master of the writers' pen stroke - and the man who made d'Artagnan famous the world over.
PAUL FEVAL the second: An author who filled in the gaps of the d'Artagnan story left blank by Dumas, with his story called the "Years Between Series." Learn about this man, who could almost rival Dumas on d'Artagnan stories!
