Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Surprising Adventures of Frederick Baron Trenck: Carefully Collected and Abridged From the Last Edition of His Own Memoirs, to Which Is Added a Short Supplement I was born 1726, at Koenigsberg, in Prussia. My father, descended from an ancient family, was General of Cavalry: he died in 1740, after having received eighteen wounds in the service of Prussia. My mother was daughter of the President of the Supreme Court of Koenigsberg : one of her brothers was Minister of State, and the two others Generals of Infantry. After my fathers death, she married Count Lostange, Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment of Cuirasuars of Kiow. I had two brothers and a sister: one of my brothers remained with my mother; the other was Cornet in the regiment of Kiow ; and my sister married the only son of old General Waldow, and settled in Edenburg. My father sent me, at the age of thirteen, to the university of Koenigsberg, where I made a rapid progress in my education. At the end of 1740, I had a dispute with a gentleman named Wallenrod, who boarded in the same house: he was much taller and stronger than me; and despising my weakness, thought proper to strike me: I demanded satisfaction, which he refusing contemptuously, I took a second, and attacked him in the open street. We fought; and I had the good fortune to wound him in the hand and arm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
