Let us call him 'A-tse-nu-sti, ' the messenger.\" This is the story of Reverend Samuel Austin Worcester (1798-1859), \"messenger\" and missionary to the Cherokees from 1825 to 1859 under the auspices of the American Board of Foreign Missions (Congregational). One of Worcester's earliest accomplishments was to set Sequoyah's alphabet in type so that he and Elias Boudinot could print the bilingual \u003cem\u003eCherokee Phoenix\u003c\/em\u003e. After removal to Indian Territory, he helped establish the \u003cem\u003eCherokee Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by William Ross, and issued almanacs, gospels, hymnals, bibles, and other books in the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw languages. He served the Cherokee in numerous roles, including those of preacher, teacher, postmaster, legal advisor, doctor, and organizer of temperance societies. His story is the Cherokee story, and in the foreword to this new edition, William L. Anderson discusses Worcester's life among the Cherokee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Althea Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.90w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806128795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBass, Althea:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlthea Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e taught at the University of Oklahoma and was the author of several books on Indian history, among them \u003cem\u003eThe Story of Tullahassee and The Arapaho Way\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40151910613107,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8907b728-00aa-48b8-a0b8-361278853c59.jpg?v=1654781622","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/cherokee-messenger-volume-12-9780806128795","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
