Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and detailed look at the early years of a pioneering educational institution that aimed to transform the lives of African Americans and Native Americans. The author, a key figure in the institution's founding, provides a personal account of the school's genesis, its mission, and its development. He draws on his own experiences as a missionary in Hawaii, a soldier in the Civil War, and a leader in the post-Reconstruction South to highlight the urgent need for education and empowerment among formerly enslaved people and marginalized indigenous populations. The book explores the challenges and triumphs of building a school that embraced practical skills and vocational training alongside traditional academic subjects. It delves into the school's commitment to self-help and its reliance on private donations to sustain its work. The author also reflects on the evolving relationship between the races in the South and the growing awareness of the importance of educating Native Americans. Through a series of detailed biographical sketches of graduates and ex-students, the book vividly illustrates the impact of the school's mission on individuals and communities. It provides a valuable historical record of the institution's early years and sheds light on the complexities of racial and social change in the late 19th century. This book offers a compelling look at the power of education to foster individual growth and societal progress.
