Description:Excerpt from The Letters and Journal (1848-49) Of Count Charles Leiningen-Westerburg: General in the Hungarian Army The heroes of the War of Independence of 1848-1849 occupy a privileged position in the traditions and in the public opinion of Hungary, and not without reason. Their actions and their apotheosis, the martyr death they suffered, are known to everyone; and every year increases the grandeur of their figures in the lays and stories which true piety constructs. In the history of modern peoples, there is scarcely any other example of men who lived half a century ago becoming mythical personages. The impressions of their individuality have faded away; scarcely any vestige of truth has remained about them; the only genuine survival is the idea for which they fought and shed their blood. In this manner legend has annexed a considerable tract from the domain of history. It is only in the memoirs of Arthur Gorgey, of Czetz, who has described the campaign conducted in Transylvania by General Bem, and of Lazarus Meszaros, who very reluctantly accepted the post of War Minister in the Revolutionary Cabinet and died as an exile in Jersey (1858), that we find any quantum of pure and unadorned historic truth.
