Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travel, Adventure, and Sport From Blackwood´s Magazine, Vol. 6 A 68-pound shot, which had gone lobbing by the Kajar´s Cashmere-shawl tent, had on one occasion been picked up, placed on a camel´s back, and at once started off to the capital, and eventually submitted to the inspection of the august eyes of the sovereign. When the intelligence reached Teheran that whole regiments had retired en masse without firing a shot - without ever having seen the colour of their enemy´s moustaches - some of the general officers and chiefs of tribes were ordered into the presence, and had there received the punishment of the stick: this accomplished, the rapacious Prime Minister laid hands upon them, and lightened them of all their ready money and jewel-hilted daggers. The Persian soldiers, who are not to he surpassed by any troops in the world for their endurance of fatigue, and for the length of their marches through an impoverished country, were, for the want of being led by their officers, after a few engagements, ready for immediate flight at the gleam of a British bayonet. Sir James Outram, hampered by the difficulty of procuring baggage-animals, had been obliged to encamp on the plain near Maharaja: this small town is situated on the right hank of the Hafar Canal.
