Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Indians
Missionary labours were commenced among these tribes while they were yet on the eastern side of the Mississippi, and as far back as the year 1818. The Rev. Cyrus Kingsbury, D. D the founder of the Choctaw Mission, if not of the Cherokee also, still lives and labours on among that people, whilst his scarcely less distinguished coadjutors, Byington, Wright, Worcester, Washburn and others, have been gathered home, with many rich and precious trophies bestowed as the reward of their common labours. The missionary operations, commenced a half century ago among these people, have been continued with some variation up to the present time and no where can we find more satisfactory or conclusive evidence of the power of the gospel to reclaim a heathen people.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the lives and culture of the Cherokee people during the early 19th century. Through the lens of missionary work, the author paints a vivid picture of their transition from traditional ways to a more settled, Christianized society. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands. It delves into the challenges faced by missionaries in bridging cultural and linguistic barriers, and the remarkable resilience and openness of the Cherokee people to new ideas and ways of life. The author's personal experiences and observations provide rich insights into the spiritual and social transformation of the Cherokees. We witness the gradual erosion of superstitions and traditional practices, and the profound impact of education and religious instruction. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the power of human connection and the transformative potential of faith. It leaves us with a deeper understanding of the complexities of cultural change and the enduring spirit of the Cherokee people.
