Karl Blind

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Blind (born 1826) was a German revolutionist and journalist, born at Mannheim.

Blind took part in the risings of 1848. He was sentenced to prison in consequence of a pamphlet he wrote entitled "German Hunger and German Princes," but he was rescued by the mob.

He found refuge in England, where he interested himself in democratic movements, and cultivated his literary as well as his political proclivities by contributing to magazines, and otherwise.
