(Thomson, 119) (Howes F-144). Reverend James Finley (1781-1856), a Wyandot missionary appointed by the Methodist Episcopal Church, converted over half of the Wyandot people in present-day Wyandot County, Ohio to Christianity. This autobiography details Finley's appointment as a missionary and his early experiences with the American Indians, including the formation of a mission school. Finley spent six years among the Wyandots, from 1821 until 1827. With the help of Wyandot leaders Between-the Logs and Mononcue, Finley ran a school, store, and farm in addition to the church. Fifty-one children attended the school before Finley left his position due to poor health. The Wyandots were removed to Kansas in 1843. (Ohio Memory Collection).

As a student at Columbia University in the 1940s, he formed friendships with William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, forming the core of the Beat Generation.
