George Copway (Kahgegagahbowh, 1818-69), an Ojibwe writer and
lecturer, rose to prominence in American literary, political, and
social circles during the mid-nineteenth century. His colorful,
kaleidoscopic life took him from the tiny Ojibwe village of his
youth to the halls of state legislatures throughout the eastern
United States and eventually overseas. Copway converted to
Methodism as a teenager and traveled throughout the Midwest as a
missionary, becoming a forceful and energetic spokesperson for
temperance and the rights and sovereignty of Indians, lecturing to
large crowds in the United States and Europe, and founding a
newspaper devoted to Native issues.
One of the first Native American autobiographies, "Life, Letters
and Speeches" chronicles Copway's unique and often difficult
cultural journey, vividly portraying the freedom of his early
childhood, the dramatic moment of his spiritual awakening to
Methodism, the rewards and frustrations of missionary work, his
desperate race home to warn of a pending Sioux attack, and the
harrowing rescue of his son from drowning.
