A Champion for the American Indians
This book takes the reader into a slice of American history seldom visited.
Writing in the novelized memoir format, author Carol Layman (Growing up Rich in Vernon, Indiana) allows missionary McCoy to recount his own adventures.
McCoy (1784-1846) realizes his mission call in 1817, while staring at a kettle. It had been confiscated from a destroyed Indian village and left at his cabin by soldiers. Both his and his wife’s families had already suffered massacres, so it was with trepidation that he took his own into places where white families had never resided.
The Indians, after initially rejecting his overtures, competed for the mission stations, wanting their children to be schooled "so the white man cannot cheat us anymore."
McCoy’s three decades of struggles and rewards found him crossing paths with many famous chiefs—white as well as Indian—and the infamous, too. But in spite of his life being imperiled several times, he considered abandoning his work only once.
His first station was in Indiana, the American frontier in 1817. Later he moved up to the lake country, then to the West. His work involved him in national events, from the eastern Cherokee debate to the Mormon conflicts in the West.
After settling in the West, he became obsessed with establishing an Indian Territory, believing it to be the only hope for the natives’ survival. This territory was to become one of the United States, as had other territories.
In a saga replete with irony, the greatest was that his most formidable obstacle turned out to be the church itself. This story stays with the reader long after the book is closed, and surely will spark discussion.
Layman’s twenty years of research are evident in the surprising and little-known facts re-created on this broad canvas. Her exhumation of McCoy will ensure that he takes his rightful place in American history.
