DESCRIPTION
A novel by James Meeker Ludlow, published by Harper in 1890. First edition was published in 1886. "The story of the Captain of the Janizaries originated, not in the author's desire to write a book, but in the fascinating interest of the times and characters he has attempted to depict. It seems strange that the world should have so generally forgotten George Castriot, or Scanderbeg, as the Turks named him, whose career was as romantic as it was significant in the history of the Eastern Mediterranean....Though our story is in the form of romance, it is more than " founded upon fact."
