History of the Late Polish Revolution and the Events of the Campaign
by Joseph Hordynski
About the author
Joseph Hordynski was a 19th-century Polish author best remembered for History of the Late Polish Revolution, and the Events of the Campaign, published in 1833. Sources consistently link him with the Polish uprising of 1830–1831, and the book itself is presented as a near-contemporary account of that conflict.
He appears to have written not as a distant academic, but as someone close to the military and political events he described. That gives his work a direct, personal quality that still stands out for readers interested in Poland’s fight for independence and in eyewitness-style historical writing.
Reliable biographical details about his life are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is best to treat him as a relatively obscure historical figure whose reputation rests mainly on this one notable book and its value as a firsthand-era chronicle.
