An unknown hero you need to know about

It’s surprising a beloved American in Iran !

He was 24 when he joined to memorial school in Tabriz ,Azerbaijan province in Iran; he was one of teachers of USA consulate missionary school in Tabriz, his resident time in Tabriz was concurrent with confliction among patriot Iranians who had been fighting against despotism of Qajar dynasty when despite of ex-king’s endorsement and verification of constitutional regime his successor struck back legislators who were opposing monarch and even cannonaded the parliament back in 1909, when tenth of parliament members were captured within clashes, a group of patriot Iranians resisted the repression in Tabriz, Satar khan and Baqer khan (later named honorably sardar meli & salar melli or national heroes ) were the heads of those groups who fought back government forces and were keeping on support of people’s advocates

Howard Baskerville had served in USA armed force and was familiar with the art of war, after egression of the army he decided to devote himself to educate poor people who couldn’t afford school costs,  then he joined USA consulate missionary school in Tabriz, companion with Iranian Azeris thought him a valuable lesson of brotherhood and benevolence, when he tasted the wretched circumstances of poor people in such a rich country like Iran, and when he witnessed people who were ready to sacrifice all they had for the sake of freedom, his brave heart, and open mind unleashed his self giving spirit.

Regardless of Dr Wilson (principal of school) prohibition of any  intervention he decided to join fighters, soon he began to train volunteers, Baskerville’s trainees love him as they love freedom and that interest was of course mutual but there was a problem, most of volunteers were belong to rich families and their loyalty was in doubt, but Howard trusted them and attempted hard to lesson them fortunately his enthusiastical hard works solve the problem , after all the brigade of Baskerville's pupils was held in high repute later and was named the save brigade, the night before the final conflict Baskerville told his soldiers” try hard by all what you have to defeat your enemy”.

 In the morning when war began the first one who went to the front line and attacked the government forces was Baskerville and mournfully the first one who was shot, his body was remaining between enemy lines and no one could bring his body back until one of the bravest freedom fighters Hussein Khan Kermanshahi dared to put his life at risk and bring the body back, in respect of Baskerville’s devotion to downtrodden people

After the battle and freedom fighters success, People heard about the death of Baskerville, sadness and grief had been all over the city, freedom fighters, ordinary people and specially his students all were in deep sorrow, later thousands of people attended to his magnificent funeral to pay tribute to that great man one of famous lecturer in his funeral said” today I believe the freedom will remain forever because blood of such an innocent free man was poured in Iranians endeavor toward freedom ‘  

Later his gun which Baskerville name was carved on its barrel alongside exquisite carpet with Baskerville portrait on it, was sent to Baskerville’s mother in the America in symbol of Iranian’s appreciation toward his dedication, today Baskerville’s sculpture is keeping in Tabriz museum and millions of Iranians pay regard to his brave spirit, may god bless him.

As you see everyone who cares about people truly, through history is being call as a hero and people respect him, no matter where he belong or what he used to do, the point is Howard Baskerville was an American citizen and Iranian  like him so much, why? Because he did accept the fact of what people from different races really are, and did respect their lifestyle and understanding, tried to bond with them, not to call them wilds or inferior race, and it is the reason of immortality, friendship

Baskerville is dead but his memory remains forever in minds, Iranians might hate USA government policy of ignoring less developed countries rights, biased approach and kingship of the world  but they respect Americans as well as they respect themselves, unfortunately Americans don’t know about this shiny fact and regretfully because of everyday propaganda against Iranians, they already knew Iranians as bearded face maniacs with explosive belts ready to commit suicide attack on Americans, of course it’s not true, do you ever ask yourself why Howard Baskerville as an American devoted his valuable life  for Iranians? (despite USA consulate’s strict prohibition of any intervention), because of their violence and wildness or their kindness and toleration?  

Conclusion is up to you, you are at will to say WTF, this is bull**it, but which one and which approach do you prefer to come in mind after hearing USA, Howard Baskervilles or warmongers like bush .
