Evangeles, Christodoulos L. M. (Christodoulus Leonidas Miltiades), 1815?-1881?
Biographical notes:
Born in Thessalonica, Greece around 1815, Evangeles ran away from the oppression he faced living under the Turks when he was twelve or thirteen years old. Several kind Americans brought him to New York and arranged for his education. Eventually he attended the University of the City of New York (now New York University) and graduated from Columbia College. He returned to his homeland not long after and worked to introduce a new system of education to Greece as well as trying to gain support from the United States for Greece's renewed struggles against the Ottoman Empire. He died around 1881 in Athens.
