The Cretan Revolt was an uprising against the ruling Ottoman Turks starting in 1866. The revolt was eventually suppressed by 1869, as the Ottomans gave further rights to Christian Cretans for local rule.

This account of the Cretan Insurrection is authored by William Stillman, the U.S. consul in Crete at the time. A table of contents is included for easier navigation.
