William Apess, a Pequot Indian intellectual and itinerant preacher, emerged as a significant advocate for Native American rights in the 19th century. This biography chronicles his tumultuous upbringing, military service during the War of 1812, and conversion to Methodism, leading to his prominence as a lecturer and author. His 1829 autobiography, notable for being the first by a Native American, reflects his activism alongside the abolitionist movement. Philip F. Gura highlights Apess's contributions and enduring legacy, positioning him as a vital figure in antebellum reform.
