On September 3, 1901, a Protestant missionary named Ellen
Stone set out on horseback across the mountainous
hinterlands of Balkan Macedonia and was ambushed by a band
of armed revolutionaries. In The Miss Stone Affair, Teresa Carpenter re-creates
an event that captured the attention of the world and posed
a dilemma for incoming president Theodore Roosevelt. Should
he send in the Navy or not? And, if so, send it where?
Drawing upon a wealth of contemporary correspondence and
documents, Carpenter constructs a narrative that is
suspenseful, harrowing, and at times even comical. It is a
story for our time.
