Excerpt from The Exploration of the Caucasus, Vol. 2We joined greedily in an excellent meal, and then let our tr00p lead on up the broken slopes of névé, but half-transformed into ice, which hid from us a still higher level of these 'shining tablelands.' The Caucasians are as clever as chamois at choosing their line of march, and show a great deal of prudence in sounding in uncertain places. We were soon able to take advantage of some snowy rocks between two branches of the se'racs. The snow on them was thick and loose, and made the work exceedingly slow and laborious for those in front. In our happy ignorance we thought this labour was to be our last.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
