Condition: Very Good. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original brick red cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered in black, family crest to the front cover. 8vo. 7½'' x 5¼''. The Dadeshkeliani or Dadishkeliani was an aristocratic family from the mountainous western Georgian province of Svaneti, they ruled the Principality of Svaneti from the 1720s to 1857. Continuing dynastic strife among the Dadishkeliani, their defiance to the Russian government, and vacillation during the Crimean War (1854-1856), however, led to direct Russian intervention. In 1857, Prince Alexander Baryatinsky, Viceroy of the Caucasus, ordered Svaneti to be subdued by armed force. The prince of Svaneti, Constantine, chose to negotiate, but was ordered into exile to Erivan. On a farewell audience in Kutaisi, he quarreled with a local Russian administrator, Alexander Gagarin, and stabbed him to death and three of his staff. When captured, Constantine was summarily tried by court martial and shot. In 1858, the principality was abolished and converted into a district administered by a Russian-appointed officer. Several members of the Dadeshekeliani family were exiled to the remote Russian provinces and those who remained in Georgia were deprived of their privileges of autonomous princes. During World War I, Dadeshkeliani joined the Russian Army, and served with the 4th Tartar Regiment, she drove an ambulance on the Austrian front before being wounded in 1916. After the war, she lived in Georgia and served in the Constituent Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Georgia.
