About This Item
This pamphlet reproduces the (slightly abridged) stenographic report of the first parliamentary meeting of the free Czechoslovak National Assembly in November of 1918, after it had formally proclaimed independence from Austro-Hungary in October of 1918. It was issued as volume ten of the important series of supplements to the Czech Legion newspaper "Czechoslovvak Daily."
After the treaty of Brest-Litovsk effectively closed the Eastern Front, the Legion forces found themselves on the side of the imperiled Tsarist troops as they moved East to Vladivostok and to transport ships bound for home. At one time, the Czech Legion controlled the majority of the Trans-Siberian Railway and significantly aided the White Russian forces during combat. Their effort on behalf of the White army was seen as benefiting their goal of an independent Czech state as propagated by Masaryk, free from Austro-Hungarian rule. This book is among a range of works which were printed in transit, at the mobile printing shop of the Legion troops in their armored train, evidently somewhere between Irkutsk and points further east. With a brief explanatory note by the publishers on the last page.
As of January 2024, KVK and OCLC show five copies in Europe, but none in North America.
