Summary:	The Brainerd Mission was once internationally known, but later passed into oblivion. Now, of a sudden, the splendor of the unselfish lives of its ministers and teachers, blazes forth as an eternal tribute to those people who forsook comfortable homes and lives of ease that the Cherokee might be educated and Christianized. - Foreword.
