Excerpt from A Knight-Errant in TurkeyThough he has altered names of persons and of places, yet he is sure that any one who is acquainted with the country will be at no loss to identify them. The author heard most of the story from the hero, and is at one with him in his admiration of the peasant Turk, and in his wonder at the natural wealth of the country. He therefore sends forth this book in the hope that it will give entertain ment to the reader, and that it will awaken sym pathy among Westerners for the great mass of the Turkish people, who have many noble qualities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
