Synopsis

A stirring tribute to a pioneer in education and humanitarian service

This memorial volume presents the life and work of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, as written by Julia Ward Howe, with a collection of tributes, memorial services, and letters that reflect his impact on education for the blind, prison reform, and advocacy for the deaf and mentally challenged. It offers a portrait of a man whose bold, action-first approach shaped a nation's view of disability and public philanthropy.

The book blends biographical memoir with contemporary remembrances, documenting Howe’s early life, his foundational work at the Massachusetts Asylum for the Blind, and the enduring legacy that inspired memorial events, hymns, and speeches. Readers will gain insight into the era’s social reforms and the people who stood with Howe to advance equal opportunities for those with disabilities.

Inside you’ll find a mix of narrative, official resolutions, speeches, and correspondence that together illuminate Howe’s character, his public service, and the broad reach of his advocacy. The volume also highlights the community that celebrated his life through ceremonies and public remembrance.

• A concise life story of Dr. Howe and the principles that guided his work
• Context on education for the blind and related social reforms in 19th-century America
• Accounts of memorial services, eulogies, and musical tributes
• Letters and contemporary reactions that illustrate his public influence

Ideal for readers of biography, American history, and the history of philanthropy and disability education.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
