Vahan M. Kurkjian (Aleppo, 1863 - New York City, 1961) was an
Armenian author, historian, teacher, and community leader. In 1904,
in Cairo, he published the Armenian newspaper Loussaper (The
Morning Star), in the pages of which he and other intellectuals
called for a national union for the Armenian people. The idea
eventually materialized in the form of the Armenian General
Benevolent Union. In 1907 he emigrated to the United States and
studied law at Boston University. Two years later, also in Boston,
he founded the first American chapter of the Armenian General
Benevolent Union. From its inception he was inseparably identified
with that organization, serving as its executive director until his
retirement in 1939. Kurkjian was a frequent contributor of articles
to Armenian newspapers, and published a number of books and
pamphlets, among which the best-remembered is his History of
Armenia. (wikipedia.org) The volume is an easy reading and a must
for the beginner student and interested party of the history of
Armenia as well as for those more familiar with Armenian and its
history. The author, an expert on Armenian history, has masterfully
covered all aspects of the Armenian history such as Armenian
literature, Armenian Church, the history of Armenian old and modern
language, architecture, sculpture, music etc. along with all the
historical events, starting from the beginning of the human
civilization and that of Armenian one to the modern era of Armenia.
