A Leader of Freemen: The Life Story of Samuel Chapman Armstrong is a biographical account of the life and accomplishments of Samuel Chapman Armstrong, a prominent American educator and military officer in the late 19th century. Written by Everett Titsworth Tomlinson and originally published in 1917, the book chronicles Armstrong's upbringing in a missionary family in Hawaii, his education at Williams College, and his service as a Union officer during the Civil War. The book also delves into Armstrong's work as the founder and first principal of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, a school for African American students in Virginia. Armstrong's philosophy of education, which emphasized practical skills and character development, is explored in detail, as is his advocacy for racial equality and his efforts to improve the lives of African Americans in the post-Civil War South. Overall, A Leader of Freemen offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a remarkable figure in American history, whose commitment to education and social justice continues to inspire today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
