Abstract: The journal of the Brainerd Mission is an indispensable source for understanding Cherokee culture and history during the early nineteenth century. The interdenominational mission was located in the heart of Cherokee country, near present-day Chattanooga, Tennessee. For seven years the Brainerd missionaries kept a journal describing their lives and those of their charges.
