A unique study of the ethnographer William Kresson is devoted to the history of the Cossacks. Based on the works of historians, Cossack songs, legends and legends, the author considers the concepts of the emergence of this Russian -speaking sub -ethnic group in the Don and Dnieper steppes, describes life, culture, features of service in the Donskoy and border troops. A separate chapter is dedicated to the Zaporizhzhya Sich and her free -loving brotherhood. The author expertly conveys the story of the writers to write letters to the Turkish Sultan, who served as a plot for the famous picture of I.E. Repin, and gives the letter itself - a bright example of original Cossack creativity. The narrative is complemented by historical portraits of Cossack leaders: conqueror of Siberia Ermak, hetmanov Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Ivan Mazepa, rebel Emelyan Pugachev and heroic chieftain M.I. Platov. Of particular interest are the essays dedicated to the Cossacks of the border guards: Kuban residents, Ters, Grebens, Astrakhan, Urals and Orenburgers
