Chamberlain Adlerfeld's Journal ends the night before the Battle of Poltava, where he was killed.Through five appendixes, the story of the battle of Poltava and the retreat of Charles XII to the Turkish town of Bender, in present-day Moldavia, this third volume was finished by other writers, who, unfortunately, are not identified.
