The Life and Education of Laura Dewey Bridgeman: The Deaf, Dumb and Blind Girl is a biographical book written by Mary Swift Lamson. The book tells the story of Laura Dewey Bridgeman, who was the first deaf-blind person to be educated in America. Laura was born in 1829 in New Hampshire and lost her sight, hearing, and speech at the age of two due to scarlet fever. Despite her disabilities, Laura's parents were determined to give her an education, and they sought the help of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, who had previously worked with another famous deaf-blind person, Helen Keller. Dr. Howe developed a unique method of communication for Laura, which involved using her sense of touch to recognize different objects and letters. With this method, Laura was able to learn to read, write, and communicate with others. The book chronicles Laura's life and education, including her struggles and successes, and provides insight into the challenges faced by people with disabilities in the 19th century. Overall, The Life and Education of Laura Dewey Bridgeman is a fascinating and inspiring story of one woman's determination to overcome her disabilities and achieve an education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
