From the ”Overlooked Memoirs” of the 1848-1849 Revolution from Transylvania. Observations about the Prefect Avram Iancu

Summary/Abstract: The Transylvanian Romanian press from the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century represents an important source conserving narrative and documentary fonts related to the 1848-1849 Revolution from Transylvania and its leaders-Avram Iancu, Ioan Axente Sever, Simion Balint, Nicolae Vlăduțiu, Ioan Buteanu and others. As a result, through this study we aim at analyzing six writings belonging to the "overlooked memoirs" about the sir of the Apuseni Mountains which we have identified in Transilvania, Gazeta Transilvaniei and Familia and which were written or gathered up from the elders of the villages from the Apuseni Mountains by: Alexandru Ciura, I. Georgescu, Dionisie Pascuțiu, Constanța Hodoș, Iosif Sterca Șuluțiu and an anonymous memorialist. These writings of "overlooked memoirs" are meant to bring into spotlight a series of details about Avram Iancu's family, in particular about his father, his childhood, the studies followed at Zlatna, the revolutionary years and the last years of his life, years which Avram Iancu lived in poverty, often playing the flute.
