Publisher's Synopsis
""Stockbridge, Past and Present: Or Records of an Old Mission Station"" is a historical book written by Electa F. Jones in 1854. The book provides a detailed account of the Stockbridge Mission, which was established by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in the early 1800s. The mission was located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and aimed to convert the local Native American population to Christianity.Jones' book is divided into two parts. The first part chronicles the history of the mission from its inception up until the time of publication. It includes descriptions of the missionaries who worked there, as well as the challenges they faced in their efforts to spread the Christian faith. The second part of the book focuses on the present-day Stockbridge community and provides a snapshot of life in the town at the time of publication.Overall, ""Stockbridge, Past and Present"" is a valuable historical resource for those interested in the history of Native American missions and the early days of Christianity in America. It provides a unique perspective on the cultural and religious interactions that took place in the early 19th century and sheds light on the ways in which these interactions shaped the communities and cultures of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
