De Quincey Revolt of the Tartars edition by Thomas De Quincey William Edward Simonds Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This eBook was free from Internet Archive. Written before 1923, the scanned copy was not the easiest of books to read. I was reading right along and would find I was reading footnotes in strange places and foreign language passages in languages I do not know.
In the latter part of the 18th century, about 400,000 Kalmuck Tartars left their Russian homes to relocate near the outer wall of China. This was a massive undertaking moving men, women, children, household goods, and animals over mountains, steppes, frozen rivers, deserts and fertile lands. A modern day writer would have pulled this 64 page book to 500 pages by describing in detail the horrors of that journey. The author's lack of detail in the book proper did not hinder my imagination from seeing what these people endured. Ahead of them was the unknown, and to their rear two Russian armies were in hot pursuit. By journey's end the Kalmucks and their pursuers had dwindled in size and were half crazed or fully crazed from, among other things, hunger and thirst. Finding a pool of water, they fought for the water until the pool ran red with blood.
The ancestors of the Kalmucks were Tartars and Mongols who were nomadic warriors. When they warred, they took their families, food, animals, and gers with them. The Kalmucks seemed to lack the spirit of their ancestors. Could it be they lacked quality leadership? I think that is a valid question worthy of the reader's attention.
Good read.
