Excerpt from Selected Chapters From the History of the Wyandott Mission at Upper Sandusky, Ohio: Under the Direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church It was first determined to present the Whole story of the planting of the Mission by reissuing the complete volume, published by Finley in 1840, but upon hearing that the original plates were no longer to be found, and too great expense would follow from re-publishing the complete original volume, 4232 pages, the writer of this introduction determined to offer selected chapters of the old classic in missions, and so discharge the obligation, in part at least, of offering a memorial volume suitable for the centenary. The recital of the life and work of John Stewart cannot better be given than in the words of Finley which fill the early pages of this memorial volume.
