Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Persia, Georgia and Koordistan, Vol. 1 of 3: With Sketches of the Cossacks and the CaucasusAnrep, but I was ultimately induced to decline it, from my strong desire to become acquainted with the district of the Kouban, where the war continued to rage with undiminished fury between the Circassians and the Cossacks, whilst along the coast of the Black Sea, for some years past, the attacks of the Circassians on the fortresses, and the expeditions of the Russians into the mountains, have almost ceased. Meanwhile, the tempest continued to roar unceasingly, the heavens were as dark as ever, and the angry surges of the Euxine lashed the rocks of the coast with their breakers, the steppes were all under water, and resembled a wide lake, and on all hands, intelligence reached us of nu merous shipwrecks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
