Fragmented Escape from Muscovite Pursuit Across Vistula
An eyewitness diary describes crossing the Vistula under threat from Cossacks and Muscovite forces. The narrator, aided by a wary landlord and a drunken guide, endures mud and slander, evading pursuit, and finally reaches a village after a perilous trek with a small party along marshy paths and a rain-soaked road.
