Talk:Andrew Turnbull (colonist)

Untitled
Why is the place where his wife is from written as "Smyrna, Asia Minor" and not "Smyrna, Ottoman Empire" or "Smyrna, Turkey" ? It is as strange as writing "Paris, Europe" or "Madrid, Iberian Peninsula" ..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.118.48.138 (talk) 00:14, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Article or book on Turnbull and the New Smyrna venture
This article in Florida HIstorical Quarterly  mentions an article or book on Dr. Andrew Turnbull and his New Smyrna venture which sounds fascinating. It was apparently published at Gainesville in 1966, and I believe the authors are Greek, or at least of Greek descent: E. Epaminondes, P. Panagopoulos, New Smyrna: An Eighteenth Century Greek Odyssey (Gainesville, 1966. Just wondering if anyone has read this, or is familiar with it?
