Davout's troops, in whose charge were the prisoners, were crossing the Crimean bridge and some were already debouching into the Kaluga road. |
In 1619 Kaluga fell into the hands of the hetman or chief of the Zaporozhian Cossacks. |
Here he covered the march of the army upon Kaluga, and the retreat of our different convoys towards Mojaisk. |
Why did he not retire at once by the Kaluga road, abandoning Moscow? |
The man was a Kaluga landowner of small means who had lately come to Petersburg. |
And the order to retreat carries us past the turn to the Kaluga road. |
