Description:
Collection of memoirs of participants in the November Uprising. The selection was made by Artur Oppman (Or-Ot).
"In this booklet we want to recall the history of that year of gusto and hope, the year of proud intentions, mighty zeal, martyrdom heroism of the soldier from the memorable November night to the death of the patron of the Wola entrenchments, the venerable General Sowinski and to the fall of the capital. Like a rosary made of bloody seeds interspersed with pearls of Polish tears vines this magnificent garland of national memories in the descriptions of participants and eyewitnesses. Belvedere, Wawer, Stoczek, Grochów, Ostrołęka, Wola and there still the brave Różycki regiment in Russia, and there the entrance to Lithuania. How old and how close again, how always memorable to the heart of a Pole!'' (from the introduction)
