"A victim of his obstinate devotion to the cause of the unhappy Armenian race": The Murder of Rev. George P. Knapp (1915)
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The sudden death of Rev. George P. Knapp (1863–1915), head of the American Mission in Bitlis and pioneer investigator of the Armenian genocide, has remained unresolved for over a century. A hitherto ignored deposition from 1919 describes his tragic last days and murder by Turkish gendarmes escorting him to Diarbekir.
