Cherokee Sister
Catharine Brown (1800?-1823) became Brainerd Mission School's first Cherokee convert to Christianity, a missionary teacher, and the first Native American woman whose own writings saw extensive publication in her lifetime. After her death from tuberculosis at age twenty-three, the missionary organization that had educated and later employed Brown commissioned a posthumous biography, Memoir of Catharine Brown, which enjoyed widespread contemporary popularity and praise. In the following decade, her writings, along with those of other educated Cherokees, became highly politicized and were used in debates about the removal of the Cherokees and other tribes to Indian Territory.

Memoir of Catharine Brown
This 1825 volume provides an interesting perspective of a converted Cherokee tribeswoman. The biographer writes down Catharine Brown's story in hopes that "it will invigorate the efforts of the friends of missions in their benevolent attempts to send the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations."
Memoir of Catharine Brown
Catharine Brown was the Brainerd Mission School's first Cherokee convert to Christianity. The Brainerd Mission was established in 1817 by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Brown was not only its first convert but its first native missionary and teacher. She died very young of tuberculosis. The Memoir contains the expected biographical information but also weaves into the narrative selections of her writings, that is, her diary and letters. The frontispiece ngraving of Brown in her sick bed was drawn by John Ritto Penniman (1782-1841) and engraved by William Hoogland (1794 or 1795-1832).

Memoir of Catharine Brown
Catherine Brown was a Cherokee who made quite an impression on the missionaries at the Brainerd School near Chattanooga, Tennessee, with her intelligence and desire to learn. It was not long before she became a devoted Christian desiring to glorify God and carry the light of the gospel to her brothers and sisters of the Cherokee, who walked in darkness and superstition. Catherine's life was short; she died of tuberculosis at only twenty-three years of age, but her story is remarkable and stirring.The author is not conscious of having exaggerated a single fact, nor of having made a single statement not drawn from authentic documents. His object has been to give a plain and true exhibition of ...
