"The Cretan Insurrection of 1866-7-8" by William J. Stillman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the events surrounding the Cretan revolt against Ottoman rule during the years mentioned, providing insights into the complexities of political influences and the cultural heritage of the Cretan people. It explores the socio-political dynamics of the time, focusing on the Cretans’ struggle for autonomy and the various powers that intervened in their affairs. The opening of the text introduces readers to the context preceding the insurrection, notably Stillman’s personal involvement as the U.S. Consul in Crete. He reflects on the historical background of the island, illuminating its unique character and the grievances that led to heightened tensions. Through various interactions with local officials and the unfolding political landscape marked by oppression, he sets the stage for the subsequent assembly of Cretan leaders, which becomes a catalyst for revolt. The narrative highlights the significant “Assembly” at Omalo, showcasing both the democratic aspirations of the Cretans and the volatile political environment that ultimately leads to conflict.
