CRESSON, WILLIAM PENN. Cossacks; their history and country. il *$2.50 Brentano’s 947
20–1063
“An American writer’s account of that Russian people who have declared their intention to establish ‘a federal republic like that of the United States.’ This is the first history in English of the Cossacks or ‘Free people’ of Russia (to most Americans the term Cossack refers only to a branch of the old Russian cavalry service). Captain Cresson was formerly secretary of the American embassy at Petrograd, and much travel in the Cossack country and intimate knowledge of the sources of Cossack history have equipped him for the task of interpreting this interesting people to his own countrymen.”—R of Rs
