I\u2019m hoping that if we get enough supporters, I can record some more classics outside of the podcast. I\u2019m researching out an Alexandre Dumas book that might fit the bill. If you can swing it, please chip in!

In this week\u2019s story, we delve more into the Hungarian horse culture, and learn more about the flatland known as the puszta. I\u2019ve been there, and it\u2019s as flat as it\u2019s described in the story. I\u2019ve grown up all my life in the mountains, and that was the first time in my life I experienced the complete absence of anything varying the skyline. No mountains, no hills. Just a dome of sky. It\u2019s really an amazing place.

Last week, we met Sandor Decsi, a Hungarian horseman, or csikos, who was drafted into the war to serve the Emperor. He gave a comb, signifying his engagement to Klari, the young woman who run the Hortobagy Inn. Sandor wasn\u2019t too happy with her, because it was evident that she had been a little unfaithful, as he had met on the way to see her he met Ferko Lacza, a cowboy, who had received from Klari a yellow rose from the only yellow rose bush on the puszta. Due to this lover\u2019s spat, Klari remembered the teachings of a gypsy woman, who said to add mandragora root to her sweetheart\u2019s wine, if she wanted to get him to love her again.

Meanwhile, Ferko the cowboy was on his way to escort a herd of cattle to Austria, and start a new life as the lead cowherd there. Our story today begins when the group of men are getting ready to start the journey across the puszta to their new home and country.
