Yet even this unprecedented massacre. bringing death from bullets. bayonets. starvation. and exposure to over a million people. could not extinguish the valiant Armenian people. The personal stories of the survivors tell a tale of courage without precedence in the history of man. One observer relates among the refugees from Ururnish were an old man and his two daughtersinlaw. with their six children. three of them babes in arms. They were 8 days on the way. averaging 20 miles daily through the mud. The old man became stuck fast in a pool and at his own request was left there to die. One woman gave birth to a child during the march and an hour afterward was again plodding along with the other refugees. One young woman carried her father for 5 days. when he died. Another woman was found dead by the roadside with her infant. still living. wrapped in her clothes.
