Book Description
Excerpt from A Month in the Camp Before Sebastopol Thus far we have journeyed prosperously enough - no storms, hurricanes, or any other of the catastrophes which make a voyage amusing to the impartial reader. But you, who are so much occupied with the Eastern question, may be interested in learning, that we carry with us no less than twenty Polish volunteers for the Turkish army. They came on board, with a letter of introduction to the Captain from Lord Dudley Stuart; and are destined for a cavalry corps in course of formation, which, together with two others already embodied, will complete Sadik Pasha's brigade. That chief, as perhaps you know, is himself a Pole; his more Christian de nomination being Michel Chaikowsky. The brigade goes by the name of The Turkish Cossacks - a title adopted, according to our volunteers, out of deference to Austria, who, they declare, objects to the more natural epithet. Certainly, a Pole by any other name will hit as hard; and they are right not to stick at a trifle. But you will agree that a simpler explanation is to be fo md in the fact.
