Excerpt from Armenia and the Armenians

The first American missionaries to Palestine were sent out by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in the year 1821 - 2 When at Jerusalem their attention was arrested by a class of pilgrims of whom they had not before heard. Who are these good looking men, they asked, with black hair and dark eyes and with such thoughtful, intelligent faces? The reply to this question was the seed corn that has since multiplied into the rich harvests now ready throughout all Turkey for the Christian reaper. We shall state, in the briefest possible manner, the results of the operations of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions among the Armenians.
