Life, History, and Travels of Kah-ge-ga-gah-bowh

by George Copway

George Copway (1818-1869), an Ojibwe whose name Kah-ge-ga-gah-bowh means "Standing Firm," recounts his upbringing, his conversion to Methodism, and his years as a missionary among his own people. One of the most popular and successful Native autobiographies of its century.

The changed life

Copway describes turning from the old ways to Christ and giving his life to carrying that same faith back to Ojibwe communities as a preacher, teacher, and lecturer who would not be silenced.
