description: "Ellen M. Stone (1846–1927) was an American Protestant missionary, teacher, and author. She was stationed in Bulgaria and Macedonia, Turkey. Kidnapped in the course of her work, the incident was described as \"America's First Modern Hostage Crisis\". The circumstances in connection with her capture by brigands, September 3, 1901, on a mountain road in Macedonia, and her subsequent detention by them for nearly six months, pending the payment of her ransom, were given wide newspaper publicity. Her narration of these events was published in McClure's, May–October, 1902."
