Eugene Schuyler (February 26, 1840 – July 16, 1890)[1] was a nineteenth-century American scholar, writer, explorer and diplomat. Schuyler was one of the first three Americans to earn a Ph.D. from an American university;[2] and the first American translator of Ivan Turgenev and Lev Tolstoi. He was the first American diplomat to visit Russian Central Asia, and as American Consul General in Istanbul he played a key role in publicizing Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria in 1876 during the April Uprising.[3] He was the first American Minister to Romania and Serbia, and U.S. Minister to Greece.[4][5]
