KARAH KAPLAN or THE KOORDISH CHIEF
|
PREFACE One of the first observations likely to be made by any one who takes up this work, on perusing the title page, will be, what is the meaning of Karah Kaplan? In anticipation of this question, I have written a few lines concerning the name I have given to my story.

It is the surname of a Koordish Chief, who plays a most conspicuous part in the narrative. THE AUTHOR |
