Wislok - Chapter 2 (6474 words)
Wislok is mentioned for the first time in 1361 when, as a loca deserta, it was allocated by Casimir the Great to two brothers, `Peter and Paul from Hungary'.
The prominence of Wislok men in the criminal records of the period derives in part from the village's location on the state border; it was relatively easy to accomplish a daring exploit on one side and retreat to a temporary refuge on the other.
The character of the economic `development' experienced by Wislok and by Galicia as a whole (for Wislok exemplifies the general tendencies of this period) must be studied in relation to the expansion of Western Europe and the role of the imperial hinterlands of Austria-Hungary in the new capitalist system.
Wislok - Chapter 3 (7737 words)
The remaining inhabitants of the Wislok area were put onto trains at Koman'cza and dispatched to various settlements in the north and north-west of the country, leaving their houses and many other assets behind.
Wislok itself was raided by Polish peasants from Bukowsko (the former Polish-Jewish market center, 12 km away across the mountains), who made off with whatever they considered worth taking.
A new asphalt road was constructed to open the village to the world in two directions: eastwards to Koman'cza, the larger settlement 10 km away and on the railway line linking the mountain zone to the towns of the lowlands, and westwards to the small towns of Jasliska and Dukla.
