[Download] Horrors of Armenia: The Story of an Eye-witness (1895) by William Willard Howard ~ Book PDF Kindle ePub Free

William Willard Howard (1860-1933) was the owner and editor of the Warren Ledger. MR. HOWARD has twice visited Asia Minor in connection with the Armenian question. Of the fifteen newspaper correspondents who left London in December, 1894, to investigate the massacres of Armenians in Eastern Turkey, Mr. Howard was the only one who succeeded, at the risk of his life, in penetrating into the interior of the devastated regions. On his second visit, now recently finished, he went as a Relief Commissioner to arrange for the distribution of relief funds. The Turkish government forbade him to enter the country, and put a price on his head ; the Kurds shot at him, bandits captured him, and other servants of the Sultan made his journey perilous.In this little book Mr. Howard speaks from knowledge acquired by nearly a year and a half of personal observation and careful investigation in the distressed country. He is neither an Armenian nor a missionary, and he speaks without race or religious prejudice. His testimony is the testimony of an unbiased American and man of affairs who now comes direct from the blood-soaked land of Armenia.
