Memoirs of the Life and Character of Rev. John Eliot [PDF ebook] 
Apostle of the N. An. Indians

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Trm Compiler of this little work, being sta tioned on the ground, where Eliot planted his first Indian Church, and organized his first In dian town, has naturally felt a deep interest in his character. I have looked through most of the publications that treat of the early history of new-england, collected what facts] could concerning him, and arranged them in the or der in which they will be found in the follow ing pages. I have related them principally in the language of Eliot himself and his contem poraries. The phraseology may, perhaps, be considered, as antiquated and repulsive to the refinements of modern taste; but I presume that many readers will not be displeased to see the aged Eliot, clothed in the garb of his own times.
