Healdsburg's Albanian Literary and Military Society
per te emeruar shoqerine e tyre letrare-ushtarake. Pse?

A u zgjodh ky emer per cilesite e vecanta ushtarake te shqiptareve?

It all started with a pair of fading sepia photographs I came across occasionally during searches in the archives. They intrigued me because one showed a group of prim young ladies in the bustled, tight-fitting, bust bunching street costume of the 1880's. The other showed the same girls in military uniforms, solemnly posed with very real looking firearms. On the back of both photographs was written, "Albanian Literary and Military Society".
Albanians? In Healdsburg? These ladies looked like WASPs. Literary and military society? That seemed a queer combination. What were these young ladies up to?
Unfortunately the club formed in the early 1880's, a time period for which there are no complete set of local newspapers. That gap in Healdsburg's historical record has caused many problems for local research, and threatened to leave the young "Albanians" forever a mystery.........
A u zgjodh ky emer per cilesite e vecanta ushtarake te shqiptareve?
