![Osmanlı İdaresi Altındaki Yunanistan'dan Anılar-J[oseph]. Stephanini, The Personal Narrative of the Sufferings of J. Stephanini, (I. Stephaninis,) a Native of Arta, in Greece: including Accounts of the Capture of Patras - of some of the principal events of the Greek Revolution - of some of the most conspicuous characters which have been developed by those events, of the Manners, Customs, and Religion of the Albanians, Turks, Egyptians, and Bedouin Arabs. Published with a view to enable him to return to his own Country, and to release from Slavery a Large and Suffering Family, Vanderpool & Cole, Printers, New York, 1829. 132, [2] s, 18.5 x 11 cm, döneminin sırtı deri kapakları ebrulu cildinde. One of the first memoirs published by a Greek refugee was a twenty-six year old who had experienced Turkish slavery first hand. Turkish soldiers captured Joseph Stephanini, a native of Greece born in 1803, while his village was under attack early on in the war. For several years Stephanini lived as a captive, not knowing whether he would ever see his family again. Through a series of fortunate events, Stephanini managed to escape his captors and eventually managed to gain passage on an American ship bound for New York. Arriving in New York, Stephanini was taken under the wing of the New York Greek Committee. The group granted him passage on a ship it was sending back to the Mediterranean stocked with relief items for the suffering Greeks. Stephanini became a Greek Committee representative of sorts. Almost immediately he returned to the United States on another American ship carrying correspondence for the Greek Committee in Boston. On this second visit to the United States, Stephanini remained for several years, visiting supporters of the Greek cause in Charleston, South Carolina. It was on this visit to a southern, slaveholding state that Stephanini saw for himself the American institution of slavery. The former Greek slave attempted to keep his language uncontroversial by observing how much he admired America for their assistance to the Greek Cause. He concluded his memoir, however, by referring to African slavery stating: “The emancipation of a family from the miseries of slavery, - a slavery of whose horrors I can speak from bitter experience, is an enterprise which such a people, I confidently trust, will not refuse to aid.” Stephanini’s memoir, written and sold specifically to raise money to help him return to Greece to find his enslaved family, concluded on an abolitionist note. Given his understanding of Americans and their dedication to freedom, he believed that the American people would be moved to eradicate slavery from their borders. Stephanini was a young, poor refugee who just a few years earlier had not been able to speak a word of English. There are questions about how much of his memoir he wrote himself. Nonetheless, the young Greek achieved national notoriety.](https://d35fbhjemrkr2a.cloudfront.net/Images/Shop/342/Product/25549/400/5c9abac3fa8547d2a5bf3b62569f45ee.jpg)
