    These galleyslaves are for the most part the bought slaves of the captain, or else they are men of low station, or prisoners, or men who have run away, or been driven out of their own countries, or exiles, or such as are so unhappy that they cannot live or gain a livelihood ashore. Whenever there is any fear of their making their escape, they are secured to their benches by chains. As a rule they are Macedonians, and men from Albania, Achaia, Illyria and Sclavonia; and sometimes there are among them Turks and Saracens, who, however, conceal their religion. I never saw a German galleyslave, because no German could survive such misery. They are so accustomed to their misery that they work feebly and to no purpose unless someone stands over them and beats them like asses and curses them.

      As a rule they are Macedonians. How far is the Macedonian reach! Well done Daskale.
      In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

            Thank you, remember, there is so much more to find.
            If everyone of us visited their local libraries and such then we could present findings like this every day for the next 10 years. This is a fact.
            I have so much collected that I do not have time to go thru it all, if I had I could myself present a unique find every day for the next 10 years

                An excellent addition! Sometimes a simple observation can say more than an entire treatise.

                  I remember reading a newspaper article historical section that when christopher columbus sailed to america he had a macedonian on board.The macedonian's name was dragan.

                    Македонецот Драган од Охрид еден од екипажот на експедицијата на Кристофер Колумбо
                    Вечерта на 3 август, 1492, Колумбо отпловил од Палос со три бродови, „Св. Марија“, „Ниња“, и „Пинта“.По 29 денови без да видат копно, на 7 октомври, 1492 (запишано во бродскиот дневник), посадата приметила птици како летаат накај запад и веднаш го променила правецот за да ги следат птиците накај копното.

                      I understand what your saying. Wouldn't that be the greatest job of all? I can imagine getting paid to dig around old archives and libraries for stuff about the Macedonians. I'm (slowly) going through 19th century British newspapers, and I have been blown away by some of the things I have found.
