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 kaffee-sieder–Life in the
early Vienna cafés_
