Excerpt from Czar and Sultan: The Adventures of a British Lad in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78
The materials for this narrative are taken from several sources; from the admirable war letters written to the Daily News during the Russo-Turkish campaign by my brilliant colleagues Messrs. MacGahan and Millett, the former of whom fell a victim to its hardships; from the History of the War written by Captain F.V. Greene, the United States Military Attache with the Russian Headquarters, who was in the field throughout the war and whose work is the standard authority; from Mr. Nemirovitch-Dantchenko"s interesting and vivid Personal Reminiscences of General Skobeleff; from the late Valentine Baker Pasha"s War in Bulgaria; and from sundry Russian narratives and reminiscences. I have to a considerable extent utilised some personal experiences of my own, and have drawn occasionally on my correspondence to the Daily News, a newspaper to which I owe what of success may have attended a career of some activity and variety.
