Sygurd Wisniowski, Polish Adventurist and Globetrotter


Sygurd Wisniowski (born on April 6, 1841 in Paniowcach Zielonych in Podolia; died on April 23, 1892 in Lviv) 
Polish writer, reporter, translator, novelist, columnist, traveler, most of all an adventurist & globetrotter.
His travels took him at least twice around the the world.

EARLY YEARS

FIRST TRAVELS:
In 1858, after graduating from High School, he went to Turkey, where he worked on the construction of 
telegraph lines under the guidance of Polish engineers. In the years 1858-1859 he also traveled to Romania. 
He returned to study in the Lviv University. In 1862, he left the University 
to go to Garibaldi's army and then study at the Polish military school in Genoa, Italy's largest sea port.

In 1862, when he was only 21 years old, he left England for the largest 10-year-long journey of his life 
to Australia and Oceania. In Australia he appeared 10 years after the outbreak of a gold rush and as 
others sought gold there. He also worked as a farmer, miner, trader, timber supplier and journalist.

10 YEARS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND:

Once on the north-east coast of Australia his ship sank with all its good. 
Only he and one sailor survived the disaster. Then he went to New Zealand, 
where he was in a period of relative peace during the Maori wars.

NEW ZEALAND:

He did not want to participate in the British Maori pogroms, 
so he moved to the South Island and was looking for gold in the area around Lake Wakatipu. 
For two years of searching for gold, the atmosphere there was 
like in the dangerous periods of the Californian and Australian gold rush.

AMERICA:

He sailed from Liverpool to America, where he spent 10 years. In the United States 
he farmed on a farm in Minnesota, he was also a journalist and a Republican deputy 
to the state parliament. In New York for many years he wrote to Polish and New York periodicals 
'New York Herald' and 'Sun'. He also dealt with commercial interests.

THE EXPEDITION IN BLACK MOUNTAINS:

In 1974, as a correspondent of the "New Ulm Herald", he took part in the famous military 
expedition of the 7th US Cavalry Regiment in Black Mountains.

The official goal of the expedition was to investigate the sources of the Cheyenne River 
and the Black Mountains - an isolated mountain range in the west of the Great Plains. 
The real reason, however, was the rumors of rich gold and silver deposits in the Black Mountains. 
The authorities wanted to buy the lands from the Sioux and arrange a demonstration of strength.

THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN:

The news of gold discovery caused a gold rush and the influx of settlers and miners, 
which violated the treaty of 1868 with Indians and federal law.
Unable to persuade the Indians to sell their land, the government wanted to force 
them out of the Black Mountains by force. However, the battle on the Little Bighorn 
in 1876 ended with the greatest Indian victory over white people. 
Custer's cavalry unit was completely destroyed by the combined forces of the Sioux and Cheyenne, 
led by the Crazy Horse and the Sitting Bull.

FINAL YEARS:

In 1881, when his father died, he returned to Poland, Galicija to settle down and opened his own business. 
He caught pneumonia and only 2 days later died. His funeral took place on Sunday, May 1 in Lwow (now Lviv, Ukraine)
on Lukaczowski cemetery.
