CHAPTER IX

TELLING HOW COFFEE CAME TO VIENNA

The romantic adventure of Franz George Kolschitzky, who carried "a

message to Garcia" through the enemy's lines and won for himself the

honor of being the first to teach the Viennese the art of making coffee,

to say nothing of falling heir to the supplies of the green beans left

behind by the Turks; also the gift of a house from a grateful

municipality, and a statue after death--Affectionate regard in which

"Brother-heart" Kolschitzky is held as the patron saint of the Vienna
