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.
