Abstract

The sketch aims at presenting patriotic attitude of Andrzej Samulowski, who was educational activist, bookseller, publisher and poet, basing on the studies, which have been published so far. He was the most committed Warmiak in the actions striving for national awakening of the southern part of this region in the middle of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. He had no match as far as undertaking actions, which were bringing the Warmiaks closer to the Polish culture, are concerned. His persistent efforts to keep Polish language in the southern Warmia and measures to involve in these actions Polish people from the Pomerania and the Greater Poland should never be forgotten. He opened the bookstore in Gietrzwałd and contributed to creation of the “Olsztyn Daily” [“Gazeta Olsztyńska”].
