“…I am not writing history. That task belongs to others who are far more specialized than I am. My aspiration, however, is that together with the inhabitants of the wider region of Evrytania, we may revisit the journey of our ancestors in their struggle for independence.
In the pages that follow, the reader will encounter, for the first time brought to light, material drawn from primary sources (the General State Archives, newspapers of the era, accounts of fighters) as well as secondary sources (historical works written by fighters in the early years after independence and later). One will find familiar or known ancestors, events that will transport them back to the blood‑soaked soil of our homeland.
They will come across unknown historical information, interesting signatures of fighters, and oral traditions that still lived untainted in the generation that has now passed. This work is the result of painstaking effort to gather these elements, as I sought to cross‑check the reported information on the military events—events in which the region of Evrytania does not take a secondary role; indeed, without it, the Greek Revolution cannot be fully understood…”
