Rev. Sadtler introduces the book with these words: "Truth is stranger than Fiction, and more interesting... the strange and improbable events among those here recorded are well-authenticated facts... his service under Napoleon, with its campaigns, battles and hardships... the escape from the Russian horsemen at Austerlitz... the destruction of the Inquisition at Madrid and escape from prison. The same statement holds true of the leading incidents of the hero's life in this land; e. g., his reception by the Quaker, his employment, his battle with the rustic cavalry in Eastern Pennsylvania, his recognition by Lafayette and many other incidents. "Colonel Lehmanowsky enjoyed the friendship of the public men named, and attained great popularity as a lecturer. His labors and sacrifices on behalf of his loved Church have been told only in part. The author's sources of information are many and varied. No little time has been given to carefully selected historical reading, and there has been an extensive correspondence with those who have made detailed and local investigation of the facts of this strange career. Foremost among these investigators stand the Rev. M. L. Wagner, of Vandalia, Ill., to whose suggestion this work may be said to be due, and Mr. A. H. Raising, of Corydon, Ind., a grandson of the hero of our story. "The reader will be interested to know that the story of this life was written years ago as an autobiography the manuscript was entrusted to a certain firm, to be published by them in parts; but was stolen while in their hands, or destroyed to please those who feared its appearance in print. In any event there has been no trace of it found for more than forty years. However, the Truth cannot be destroyed or even long suppressed. The Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry finds, restores and republishes good, readable books from Lutheran authors and those of other sound Christian traditions. All titles are available at little to no cost in proofread and freshly typeset editions. Many free ebooks are available at our website LutheranLibrary.org . Please enjoy this book and let others know about this completely volunteer service to God's people. May the Lord bless you and bring you peace.
