Pages : 188
Book Description
Catherine Brown was a Cherokee who made quite an impression on the missionaries at the Brainerd School near Chattanooga, Tennessee, with her intelligence and desire to learn. It was not long before she became a devoted Christian desiring to glorify God and carry the light of the gospel to her brothers and sisters of the Cherokee, who walked in darkness and superstition. Catherine's life was short; she died of tuberculosis at only twenty-three years of age, but her story is remarkable and stirring.The author is not conscious of having exaggerated a single fact, nor of having made a single statement not drawn from authentic documents. His object has been to give a plain and true exhibition of the life and character of a very interesting convert from heathenism. The hope is cherished, that this little volume will augment the courage, animate the zeal, and invigorate the efforts, of the friends of missions, in their benevolent attempts to send the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations.This book is reprinted from the third edition of the work published in 1828. It has been supplemented with notes, which tell more about certain individuals casually mentioned, and illustrations not included in the original and older reprints.

A Is for American
Author: Jill Lepore
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0375704086
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
What ties Americans to one another? What unifies a nation of citizens with different racial, religious and ethnic backgrounds? These were the dilemmas faced by Americans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as they sought ways to bind the newly United States together. In A is for American, award-winning historian Jill Lepore portrays seven men who turned to language to help shape a new nation’s character and boundaries. From Noah Webster’s attempts to standardize American spelling, to Alexander Graham Bell’s use of “Visible Speech” to help teach the deaf to talk, to Sequoyah’s development of a Cherokee syllabary as a means of preserving his people’s independence, these stories form a compelling portrait of a developing nation’s struggles. Lepore brilliantly explores the personalities, work, and influence of these figures, seven men driven by radically different aims and temperaments. Through these superbly told stories, she chronicles the challenges faced by a young country trying to unify its diverse people.
