CHAPTER XXXII.
THE BULGARIANS OF EUROPEAN TURKEY.
1862-1871.
Brigandage has at times prevailed in some parts of Bulgaria, especially in the Balkan Mountains.
In the spring of 1862, the roads were more or less infested with highwaymen, but the one from Philippopolis to Adrianople, and thence to Rodosto, being constantly travelled, was deemed safe.
By this road Mr.Byington, and Mr.
Meriam with his wife and child, went to Constantinople, to attend the annual meeting of the Western Turkey Mission.
Returning, Mr.
Byington started a week before Mr.Meriam, and reached Eski Zagra safely, going from Adrianople to Philippopolis alone.
Mr.Meriam passed over the same route with his family.
