Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Late Polish Revolution: And the Events of the Campaign I am convinced that in many respects my narrative will be entirely opposed to the representations given in the public papers; for our land, like most countries struggling for liberty, was surrounded by enemies rather than friends. The sources from which these accounts have been drawn, are, first, my own recollections of events of which I was an eye-witness; secondly, the reports of my friends and comrades who were present; and lastly, (particularly as to the operations of the detached corps) the official reports of the army, which have not yet escaped my memory. The same course I have followed in the design of the plans, which have been traced partly from my own recollections of positions and scenes at which I was present, partly from the accurate reports of friends, and partly from public reports, assisted by my personal knowledge of localities. Americans! I am neither an author nor a scholar by profession, but a simple republican and soldier. In such a one you will forgive faults in the form and style of writing. Do not then judge me as a writer, but see in me an unhappy Pole, who presents to your sympathies the picture of the fatal disasters of his unfortunate country, and of the manner in which it strove to regain its liberty, that first and greatest of national blessings. In this hope of your indulgence, I beg you to accept this work as a token of my gratitude and as a memorial of my short stay among you, as well as an expression of the great esteem, with which I shall always remain, Americans, your devoted servant, Joseph Hordynski. To the gentlemen who have aided me, by the translation, the execution of the plates, and the publication of the work, I offer the only recompense which they will permit me to make - my heartfelt thanks; and I assure them that in the feelings which prompt this acknowledgment, all my comrades will participate.

History of the Late Polish Revolution: And the Events of the Campaign
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of the Polish Revolution of 1830, a pivotal moment in European history when a nation rose against the oppressive rule of the Russian Empire. The author, a firsthand witness and participant in the revolution, presents a compelling narrative that challenges the official accounts often influenced by those in power. Set against the backdrop of the post-Napoleonic era and the Congress of Vienna, the narrative traces the roots of the revolution to the broken promises of autonomy and the tyrannical reign of Grand Duke Constantine. The author vividly depicts the stifling atmosphere of surveillance, the suppression of free speech, and the brutal treatment of Polish citizens, especially those who dared to dream of freedom. The book explores the ideals that fueled the revolution ΓΆβ β the yearning for independence, the restoration of national identity, and the pursuit of liberty. It details the events leading up to the uprising, the strategic decisions made by the revolutionaries, and the key battles fought against the colossal Russian forces. Through personal recollections, official reports, and accounts from fellow revolutionaries, the author offers a comprehensive and insightful portrayal of the Polish struggle for freedom. This book serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of the fight for self-determination.
