ABSTRACT
WHEN the Götar and Swedes are about to invade the lands of the hostile Muscovites, they often find that these folk not only flee at once to places of concealment among the forests and crags at the approach of a frightening army, but also set fire to their houses and carry away with them into the immense wastes all that is needed to support human life, leaving absolutely nothing edible for the oncoming foe.1
