Louisville: J. Eliot & Co.'s Power Press,, 1842.. Arguing for a Second Indian Territory A scarce report by this Baptist organization tasked with ameliorating the condition of indigenous Americans through missions and education. Progressive-minded missionary Isaac McCoy was a leader of the group, and one of the appendices contains a seven-page report by McCoy "on the propriety of forming, in the Valley of the Mississippi, an American Indian Mission Association." This Association was indeed founded later in the year in Louisville, with McCoy as director. Aside from evangelism, the other chief aim of the Association was the establishment of another Indian Territory in the West. OCLC locates twelve copies of this work. Dbd.
