 Harz Mountains - LoveToKnow 1911
Perhaps the finest valley is the rocky Bodethal, with the Rosstrappe, the Hexentanzplatz, the Baumannsh6hle and the BielshOhle.
Slates, schists, quartzites and limestones form the greater part of the hills, but the Brocken and Victorshohe are masses of intrusive granite, and diabases and diabase tuffs are interstratified with the sedimentary deposits.
The Harz was the last stronghold of paganism in Germany, and to that fact are due the legends, in which no district is richer, and the fanciful names given by the people to peculiar objects and appearances of nature.

 CCMB: Mennonite Historian 03/99: An Unknown Turkestan Mennonite
It happened that the Chief District Officer in Andizhan at the time was a jovial, kind hearted colonel possessed of a blind faith in the integrity of his subordinates.
When he had read the Mennonite’s report, which had been passed to him by the Head Forester, he asked his District Officer how much of it he thought was true and was reassured by the latter’s assurance that the whole thing was a tissue of lies and an infamous libel.
In this example of corruption in Turkestan Pahlen relates that the District Officer who was both an officer in the Russian army and the principal author of seeing the Mennonite punished was also a Mohammedan follower (murid) of the revolt leader.
