King Oscar's Gamble: Sweden's Secret Plan to Attack Russia in 1856

Gabriel Stein

In 1854, Britain and France went to war against Russia in support of Turkey. Most of the war was fought in the Crimea. But there was another theatre of operations - the Baltic Sea. In 1854 and 1855, Franco-British fleets sailed north and attacked Russian fortifications, cities and ships. The fortress of Bomarsund on land was destroyed and the archipelago was occupied.But in order to make a real impact in the north, the allies would need local help. For two years, France and the Great Britain negotiated in secret with King Oscar I of Sweden and Norway. The Swedish King was ambitious and keen for his country to play a major role in European affairs, but also wary earning the wrath of Russia. His large navy could have tipped the balance in the Baltic and enabled an attack on St Petersburg, forcing Russia to surrender.But was the King serious in his negotiations? Historians in the past have debated the King's commitment and intentions.King Oscar's Gamble sheds new light on the subject. Through fresh research into the King's private papers, Stein's thesis argues that the King desired to join the war and was devastated when it ended prematurely.King Oscar's Gamble is the story of a monarch, a country and war.

William Thomas Scott (1839–1917) was an entrepreneur and political activist from East Saint Louis and Cairo, Illinois, who in 1904 briefly became the first African American nominated by a national party for president of the United States before his scandalous past forced him to step aside. A free man before the Civil War, Scott was a charismatic hustler who built his fortune through both vice trades and legal businesses including hotels, saloons, and real estate. Publisher and editor of the Cairo Gazette and an outspoken advocate for equal rights, he believed in political patronage and frequently rebelled against political bosses who failed to deliver, whether they were white, black, Republican, or Democrat.Scott helped build the National Negro Liberty Party to forward economic, political, and legal rights for his race. But the hustling that had brought him business success proved his undoing as a national political figure. He was the NNLP's initial presidential nominee, only to be replaced by a better-educated and more socially acceptable candidate, George Edwin Taylor.

Malinda Jenkins was born in 1848, the daughter of a subsistence farmer in Kentucky. Showing spunk early, she pridefully refused to attend school without the right textbooks and escaped as soon as possible from a large family that had "too much religion" and too little else. She liked men and married three: a handsome lazybones, a kindly drunkard, and a chronic gambler. Malinda left her first husband in order to support herself and the children. Uneducated but willing to work hard and take risks, she established a boarding house in Texas, the first of many enterprises that would gradually bring financial independence.With her third husband, Jenkins, the professional gambler, she bounced all over the West, from Wichita Falls to Oregon City to Tacoma to a lumber camp in Washington. She operated a beauty parlor in San Francisco and more boarding houses while Jenkins prospected for gold in Alaska, and in 1897 she crossed the Chilkoot Pass and joined him in Dawson, where they ran the Sour Dough Saloon. Later on they owned a racing stable.When writer Jesse Lilienthal met her in 1930, Malinda was a widow in her eighties who spent every afternoon at the racetrack. Here is her lively story, told to Lilienthal and long out of print until now.
