Booker was a criminal and forger, having been to prison at least once before; upon being arrested again, he was offered a choice of dying in prison, or to serve in Napoleon's army. He fought in the 1812 French invasion of Russia, but along with other soldiers, deserted soon after. He was quickly captured and hanged. After coming back to life, still in the noose, he pretended to be dead long enough for the army to pass beneath him,
