The article discusses the comments and footnotes made by three research teams on two books written by Poles, who were eyewitnesses to the Caucasian war in the eastern part of the Caucasus. The first of these books is "Kaukaz. Wspomnienia z dwunastoletniej niewoli" by Mateusz Gralewski, and the second is "Pamiętnik mojej żołnierki na Kaukazie i niewoli u Szamila. Od roku 1844 do 1854" by Karol Kalinowski. The article verifies some comments and corrects some mistakes that appear in the footnotes.
