| 520 | _a"Noah Webster" by Horace Elisha Scudder is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and contributions of Noah Webster, a pivotal figure in American education and lexicography, particularly noted for his efforts in creating an American spelling system and dictionary. Scudder's work delves into Webster's early life, his educational endeavors, and the profound influence he had on the American language and identity. The opening of the biography sets the stage by detailing Noah Webster's early life in West Hartford, Connecticut, where he was born into a family with deep roots in the community. The narrative describes the simplicity and hardships of rural life during the mid-18th century, which shaped his character and intellect. Scudder highlights Webster's education, from his time at the village school to his studies at Yale, and frames these experiences within the context of the American Revolution, suggesting that his formative years were characterized by a blend of scholarly pursuits and active participation in significant historical events. The groundwork laid in this opening chapter foreshadows Webster's later achievements in education and linguistics, providing readers with insights into how his upbringing and education influenced his lifelong mission to develop a distinctly American language.
