The Red Rugs of Tarsus is a historical account of the Armenian massacre of 1909, written by Helen Davenport Gibbons and published in 1917. This book is a record of the atrocities committed against the Armenian people during the Ottoman Empire's reign in Tarsus, a city in modern-day Turkey. Gibbons, an American woman, was living in Tarsus with her husband and children at the time of the massacre and witnessed the violence firsthand. The book is a harrowing and emotional account of the events that took place, with Gibbons detailing the brutal murders, rapes, and forced conversions to Islam that the Armenian population endured. She also describes the efforts made by the American consulate and missionaries to provide aid and protection to the Armenians, as well as the resistance and resilience of the Armenian people in the face of such violence.Throughout the book, Gibbons emphasizes the importance of bearing witness to these atrocities and speaking out against them. She also highlights the role of women in the Armenian community, both as victims and as leaders in the resistance movement.Overall, The Red Rugs of Tarsus is a powerful and important historical document that sheds light on a tragic chapter in Armenian history. It is a testament to the strength and courage of the Armenian people, and a reminder of the need to fight against oppression and injustice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
