A Leader of Freemen: The Life Story of Samuel Chapman Armstrong is a biography written by Everett Titsworth Tomlinson and published in 1917. The book tells the story of Samuel Chapman Armstrong, a prominent American educator and military leader who played a pivotal role in the education of African Americans and Native Americans during the Reconstruction era. The biography covers Armstrong's life from his childhood in Hawaii, where his parents were missionaries, to his education at Williams College and his service in the Union Army during the Civil War. After the war, Armstrong became involved in the education of former slaves and Native Americans, founding the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia and serving as its first principal. Throughout the book, Tomlinson portrays Armstrong as a visionary leader who was committed to promoting racial equality and social justice. The biography also explores Armstrong's personal life, including his marriage to a Hawaiian princess and his relationships with other prominent figures of the time, such as Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. Overall, A Leader of Freemen provides a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of Samuel Chapman Armstrong, shedding light on his contributions to American history and his enduring impact on education and civil rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
