About this Item

John Eliot, who is widely recognized as one of the earliest English missionaries to work with Native American populations in the early American colonies. Born in England in 1604, John Eliot arrived in Massachusetts in 1631 and devoted much of his life to the Christianization and education of the Native American communities, particularly the Massachusett and Nipmuc tribes. Eliot is renowned for translating the Bible into the Algonquian language, completing the first Bible printed in North America, known as the Eliot Indian Bible, in 1663. He also played a key role in establishing "praying towns," settlements where Native Americans could live in a Christian community, practice agriculture, and receive religious instruction. John Eliot's missionary efforts were part of a broader movement to convert Native Americans to Christianity during the colonial period. His work contributed to the cultural and religious interactions between European settlers and indigenous peoples in the early history of the United StatesPublished by Johnson Fry & Co.
