Summary/Abstract: This study is dedicated to a relatively understudied topic – the life of Major Raycho Nikolov. He was a Bulgarian hero in three wars, but it turns out that he is unknown and forgotten nowadays. Since the last quarter of the 19th century, three possible years of his birth have been in use – 1839, 1840, and 1841. Analyses based on old and new sources have led to the conclusion that Nikolov was not sure about his birth year, and that he was most probably born in the early spring of 1840 or 1841.
