      abstract = {"We must teach them to think, feel, act, and work. We must  form their whole character-- all their religious, moral,  intellectual, social and industrial habits. This is the  work to be done." Thus states a nineteenth-century  Presbyterian missionary to the Indians describing his task.  He was convinced that their only hope of survival was to  abandon the past and accept Christianity and civilization.  His striking words come from the American Indian  Correspondence, a collection of almost 14,000 letters  written by those who served as Presbyterian missionaries to  the American Indians during the years from 1833 to 1893.},
