Book excerpt: Excerpt from Warriors of the Crescent One thousand years after the birth of Christ there reigned, in the eastern provinces of the land of Iran, a great prince named Mahmud. He was the son of Subuktigin, a prince who, from the low condition of a slave, had raised himself, by his courage and conduct, to the throne of Ghazni. It was pretended that this man, in his early years of servitude, had received an intimation from Heaven of future greatness. One day, when enjoying the pleasures of the chase, and riding fast and far over hill and dale, he succeeded in hunting down a fawn, and was carrying off his prize when he saw that the dam followed him with painful signs of distress.
