The Miss Stone Affair

TrueMacedonian · 05-01-2009, 01:43 PM

This is a very relevant part of Macedonian and American history. The first modern American hostage and the news that circled the globe giving the plight of the Macedonians attention. The problem is ignorant westerners calling the Macedonians a band of Bulgarian Brigands. Well I decided to look into this and found a few interesting things. Here's the first. Writings from Madame Tsilka who was also captive with Miss Stone;

Interesting to note he indeed said Macedonians.

Now this is the interesting thing I found about the Miss Stone Affair;

What would a "greek" priest be doing with the Bulgarians looking for the Macedonians?

good find, but Carpenters book is pretty biased by the Bulgarian point of view.

I will post something later from it and from teh US State Dept. itself to show you that she admits there is a difference between Macedonians and Bulgarians. Although some of her book is biased I agree with you.

He would bless their rifles before shooting on the Macedonians, as did Karavangelis with the Turkish cannons that were fired upon innocent Macedonian villagers.

I'm begginning to suspect the the Greek clergy not only collaborated with the Turks, but also with the Bulgarians, to hunt down and kill Macedonians. Its evidence of collaboration, in my book.

So here's the rest of the material that I have on the Miss Stone affair plus on the Macedonian struggle itself. First from Carpenter's biased book The Miss Stone Affair;

Now the US State Dept. papers on this event.

We have a Turk on paper stating that the Brigands are Macedonians!
We have Mr. Eddy's letter to Mr.Hay stating that it's politics between Macedonians and Bulgarians!

And now here's some sentiments on the Miss Stone affair through Life Magazine;

page 240

and this snippy piece;

So now let's look at a book that breaks it down nicely.
