This review is from: The Greek exile: Or, A narrative of the captivity and escape of Christophorus Plato Castanis, during the massacre on the island of Scio, by the Turks, ... with various adventures in Greece and America

This provides an excellent, heart-rending portrayal of the Chios Massacre. It also displays the writing style and sensitivities of America in the mid-1800s - dramatic and declamatory. Christophoros Plato Castanis was a very brave, adventurous, and sympathetic being.
