Regiments of Hamadan
The Governor of Hamadan during the last year was the
Yamines-Sultan. By far the most powerful person at Hamadan, however, is the
Amir-i-Afkham, now Governor of Kermanshah. Hamadan possesses five regiments,
three of the Karaguzlu tribe (two belonging to the Amir-i-Afkham, and one to
the Zia-ul-Mulk), one of the Buchalu tribe, the property of Abdulla Khan, and
one of the Khalaj tribe, the property of one Ahmed Khan.
There are also three hundred sowars, under the orders
of the Amir-i-Afkham, and there are a few guns, but no trained Artillerymen to
serve them. The guns are mostly antiquated small muzzleloaders.
