520			_a"Report of Mr. Wood's Visit to the Choctaw and Cherokee Missions, 1855" by Wood is a historical account detailing a significant visit made by Mr. Wood to the Choctaw and Cherokee missions during the mid-19th century. The book was written in the turbulent period preceding the American Civil War, specifically in the 1850s, reflecting the complexities of missionary work, education, and socio-political dynamics within Native American communities. The central topic revolves around the missionary efforts and interactions with the Choctaw and Cherokee nations, particularly focusing on educational institutions and the impact of new legislation on these initiatives. In this report, Mr. Wood documents his journey through various mission stations, highlighting the cordial reception he received and the strong commitment of missionaries to their work despite challenges. A key issue addressed is the conflict arising from a recent law imposed by the Choctaw Council which altered the administration of boarding schools established by missionaries. Wood notes the harmonious discussions held with mission members regarding the implications of this law, particularly concerning compliance and the moral stance on slavery within the context of their educational responsibilities. The report emphasizes both the successes and struggles of the missions, illustrating a deep concern for the welfare and spiritual growth of the Choctaw and Cherokee peoples, as well as a recognition of the impending challenges posed by regional attitudes toward slavery.
