American I ndians. CHARLES G. SOMMERS. From the Rev. Stephen Chapin, D. D., President of the Colum bian College, D. C. Columbian College, May 2d, 1840. I have read with attention a considerable portion of the Rev. Mr. Mc Coy s History of Baptist Indian Missions. It is the object of the writer to give a history of the origin, the progress, and the present state, of this mission: this he has done in a style strong and perspicuous, and wholly free from quaintness, or laboured effort to produce effect. This work, independently of its intrinsic merit, and the benevolent design of the author, will be read with much interest by every philanthropist and Christian, on account of its bearing upon the enterprise to preserve the Indian race, by introducing among them the blessings of Christianity and civilization. This attempt is certainly among the most memorable events in the history of this country. For more than two centuries after the settlement of North-A merica, the various Indian tribes, who from time immemorial were the un disputed sovereigns of the soil, continued to melt away before the enterprise and the cupidity of the A nglo-S axon settlers. In this period, some of them became extinct, others were dispersed, and all the while their entire population continued to wane in a rapid ratio. In view of these facts, many distinguished individuals were led to inquire, what can be done to save the remnant of this noble race from speedy and utter extinction? And the plan was formed to collect the fragments of the remaining tribes, and to settle them without the boundary of our Confederacy, and upon lands provided for them by the Government, where they would have powerful motives to give up their habits of hunting and of war, and where, in their permanent homes, they might be steadily acted upon by the teacher and the mis sionary. The reader will learn that the author (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1840 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. Lamentable death of an Indian woman. Arrival of a missionary. Modes of burial. Ceremony of adoption. Tour among the Putawatomies. A suffering mother and infant. Dreadful effects of intemperance. Baptism of Mr. Lykins. He is appointed a missionary. Temperance Society. Journey to Detroit. Appointments from Government. Disinterestedness of the missionaries. Arrival of missionaries. Church constituted. Severe sickness of the mission family. Death. Arrival of a missionary. On the 14th of April, 1822, four of our Putawatomie pupils, who had been absent through the winter, returned, ragged and wretched enough. They informed me that their grandmother, an aged woman, was lying at a camp a little distance from our house, at the point of dying. In the afternoon we were informed that the old woman was dead. Two young men, who were her grandsons, intimated to me, through the medium of some of their relatives belonging to our family, a wish that I would assist in burying her, and appeared to be very thankful when I consented. My wife and I walked to their camp, where we found the corpse lying on the ground, wrapped in an old blanket. In this place and position the old woman had Iain several days before her death, as we discovered by the whitish appearance of the grass underneath her. It had been raining, and sometimes snowing, for several days, and the earth was very full of water; to all which she had been exposed, without even a tent or a piece of bark to shelter her from the storm from above, or to save her from the water beneath. The few rags which had served for her clothing were filthy in the extreme, and under and about her were vermin, such as might be seen about a putrid carcass that had lain some days on the earth. The sight was...

(This volume includes the previously unpublished autobiogr...)
This volume includes the previously unpublished autobiography of Isaac McCoy, the first reprint of his Observations in Vindication of the Doctrine of the Final Perseverance of the Saints (1811), and a collection from his unpublished "Hymns and Spiritual Songs" (1812), all of which fall within the years 1784-1816 preceding the calling of the McCoys as missionaries to the Indians. Therefore this volume may be seen as a prequel and companion to our reprint of A History of Baptist Indian Missions (1840) by Isaac McCoy, which covers the period 1817-1840. We have also included in this volume the second edition of his Remarks on the Practicability of Indian Reform (1829), a very significant work in its day, and his Address to the Philanthropists of the United States (1832). And as a concise overview of the work of the McCoys and their associates, we have reprinted here for the first time W. N. Wyeth's narrative of their labors, first published in 1895. 488 pages, illustrated and indexed.
