""A Leader of Freemen: The Life Story of Samuel Chapman Armstrong"" is a biographical account of the life and accomplishments of Samuel Chapman Armstrong, a prominent American educator and military officer in the late 19th century. Written by Everett Titsworth Tomlinson and originally published in 1917, the book chronicles Armstrong's upbringing in a missionary family in Hawaii, his education at Williams College, and his service as a Union officer during the Civil War. The book also delves into Armstrong's work as the founder and first principal of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, a school for African American students in Virginia.

Overall, ""A Leader of Freemen"" offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a remarkable figure in American history, whose commitment to education and social justice continues to inspire today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
