A true story as told by Mrs. Esther Mugerditchian of her family’s escape from Western Armenia (Ottoman Empire), and of the atrocities she and her children witnessed during their escape. She originally wrote this to her husband, Mr. Tovmas K. Mugerditchian, an Armenian pastor who became attached to the British Oriental Consular Service in 1896, and in 1904 was appointed British Vice-Consul in Diarbekir. Mrs. Mugerditchian and her family, dressed in Kurdish costume, succeeded in making their escape into the country held by the Russians. From Tiflis she was able to send the whole story to her husband, who was at that time serving the British authorities in Egypt, and eventually able to get her story published.
