How did Samuel Gridley Howe help civilians affected by the Greek War of Independence?

During the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire, Samuel Gridley Howe provided critical humanitarian aid to civilians. He successfully secured provisions from Americans, which he then personally distributed to the citizens of war-torn Greece.1

Additionally, Howe utilized his platform to raise awareness and support for the cause. He sent letters detailing the conditions of the war to family and friends, many of which were published in American newspapers. He also authored An Historical Sketch of the Greek Revolution (1828), a work intended to inform the American public about the progress, causes, and outcomes of the conflict.1
