The Life of Samuel Kirkland: Missionary to the Indians is a biographical work written by Samuel Kirkland Lothrop in 1847. The book tells the story of Samuel Kirkland, a missionary who devoted his life to working with Native American communities in the late 18th century.Kirkland was born in Connecticut in 1741 and grew up in a religious household. He studied at Princeton University and became a Presbyterian minister, but his true passion was working with Native American communities. In 1764, he began his missionary work with the Oneida tribe in upstate New York.The book chronicles Kirkland's experiences living among the Oneida and other tribes, including the Mohawk and Tuscarora. He worked to establish schools and churches, and helped to negotiate treaties between the tribes and the United States government. He also played a key role in the American Revolution, serving as a liaison between the Oneida and the Continental Army.Throughout his life, Kirkland faced many challenges, including opposition from some members of the Oneida tribe who were resistant to his teachings. He also struggled with health issues, including a chronic cough that plagued him for many years.Despite these challenges, Kirkland remained committed to his work and continued to serve as a missionary until his death in 1808. His legacy lives on in the many schools and churches he helped to establish, and in the memories of the Native American communities he worked with.Overall, The Life of Samuel Kirkland: Missionary to the Indians is a fascinating look at the life of a man who dedicated his life to serving others. It provides valuable insights into the history of Native American communities in the late 18th century, and offers inspiration to anyone interested in working for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
