A. G. (Apraham Garabed) Seklemian

Born in 1864 and remembered today as A. G. Seklemian, he is associated with Armenian literary and cultural life both as a writer and as an editor. Library and public-domain book sources identify him as an Armenian-American author, and LibriVox notes that he and his wife came to the United States after the Hamidian massacres of 1895–96, later settling in Fresno, California.

Seklemian is especially known for collecting and publishing Armenian folk narratives for English-speaking audiences. His 1898 book The Golden Maiden and Other Folk Tales and Fairy Stories Told in Armenia helped preserve and share stories drawn from Armenian tradition, and the volume was introduced by Alice Stone Blackwell.

He is also remembered in Armenian-American publishing history. LibriVox describes him as the first editor of Asbarez, an Armenian-American bilingual daily newspaper that still exists, which places him not only among storytellers and translators, but also among early voices shaping Armenian community life in the United States.
