Summary "The Red Rugs of Tarsus: A Woman's Record of the Armenian Massacre of 1909" by Helen Davenport Gibbons is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book is an autobiographical narrative reflecting on the tragic events of the Armenian massacres in 1909 through the eyes of an American woman who witnessed these atrocities. Gibbons provides a personal perspective on her experiences during this tumultuous time, highlighting her interactions with the local Armenian community and the danger they faced. At the start of the narrative, Gibbons recounts her transition into married life in Tarsus and introduces herself in a domestic setting, where she navigates the cultural intricacies of her new home. The opening chapters highlight her concern for the Armenian people amidst rising tensions, foreshadowing the violence that is to come. Through vivid descriptions, she shares her daily life, interactions with locals, and the growing political backdrop that hints at impending disaster. The tone blends personal reflection with a sense of urgency as she becomes increasingly aware of the looming threat to the Armenian population, setting the stage for the unfolding tragedy.
