a part of the half-a-century long Caucasian War. Deprived of his rights, he served as a private in the Tengin Regiment. He was wounded in the leg during one of the skirmishes and had an accident with a horse, which resulted in serious loss of hearing. For his bravery, he was again promoted to officer's grade and finally in 1845 allowed to return to his manor in Slavuta. He left most of the property of his family in hands of his daughter and instead focused on economical development of Slavuta. Sanguszko started several businesses and with time his land became one of the most industrialized properties in the area. Apart from the textile plant (with a branch in Tarnów), he also founded a sugar plant, paper factory, steel mill and a lumber-mill. He also created a large horse farm specializing in the breeding of racehorses. Finally, he significantly enlarged the manor's library. With more than 6000 volumes it was one of the largest such collections in the region. He died on 26 March 1881 and was buried in the crypt of the local St. Dorothy's church. His life is the subject of "Prince Roman" (1910) one of Joseph Conrad's short stories. Family Roman married Countess Natalia Potocka on 14 May 1829 in Warsaw and had one daughter: Princess Maria Klementyna Sanguszko, wife of Count Alfred Józef Potocki. His younger brother Prince Władysław Hieronim Sanguszko also participated in the November Uprising.
