triots. He traveled from village to
village, bolstering the spirit of the
oppressed peasants and adding
more volunteers to his organiza- i
tion. The eventual revolt was near. ?Z ,
me angry peasants needed little
encouragement to rise against
their foreign rulers.
In 1876, Boteff completed his
plans. He went to Rumania, out of
the realm of tho Turks, and gath
ered a small force of 200 men. He
was ready for the attack. J j-n

Quietly the men moved to a
port on the Danube. There the
Austrian vessel Radetzki docked,
and Boteff and his men, dis
guised as gardenors, boarded it,
one by one.
After the departure, Boteff
went up to the captain and de
manded control. A menacing
band of "gardeners" scowled
at the officer, and he had to turn
over the wheel. The ship was
steered toward the Bulgarian
shore, where the 200 invaders
landed. Soon a Turkish army
met them. They fled to the
mountains, fighting all the way.
Boteff was killed, and his little
band of patriots was scattered.
On the 50th anniversary of
Boteff's death, Bulgaria, in
1926, issued a stamp bearing
his portrait.
