Summary "Kansankapina Ahvenanmaalla v. 1808" by J. Säilä is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the events surrounding the popular uprising in the Åland Islands during the Finnish War between Russia and Sweden, highlighting themes of nationalism and resistance against oppression. The narrative details the interactions between the local populace and Russian forces, focusing on key figures such as Henrik Juhana Gummerus and Erik Arén, who played pivotal roles in rallying the citizens against their oppressors. It recounts the initial dread experienced by the islanders with the arrival of Russian troops, the subsequent military orders that incited resistance, and culminates with the passionate uprising where locals unite to reclaim their land. With a mix of courage, strategic planning, and the fervor for independence, the islanders, led by Gummerus and Arén, effectively drive out the enemy, showcasing the spirit of a people yearning for freedom amidst the chaos of war.
