Quote about Montenegrins from 1896 London book The Leisure Hour:
On market days the road swarms with Montenegrins, with their mules, asses, or small ponies, carrying produce to the coast, or returning with purchases. Burdens are borne along the difficult road not only by the animlas, but by men and women. Of these burdens the women seemingly take an undue share. The traveller is struck with the lofty stature of the men, and is favourably impressed with their manly bearing, square brows, and intelligent countenances; their hair is generally brown, and their large eyes blue, or perhaps oftener dark grey. The women he finds of middle stature, thick set, and with weather-beaten complexions. Their expression is generally pleasing, being intelligent, as well as cheerful. But whatever good looks they may have in youth, it is evident they too soon lose by exposure and hard toil.
