Daily Thoughts 04/05/2014
I read some more of The Heathen School. I am reading about how the support for the school starts to drop off when a Cherokee student marries a local caucasian girl. The book reveals many racial attitudes that occur in 1820s America with excerpts from local newspapers and other writings. There are eight pages of illustrations and photographs, an extensive set of notes for each chapter, and an index to the book.
I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the Mount Vernon Public Library.
