at the age of eight. In the preface to this book he states: “In May 1800 a commission was transmitted to me by the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, convened in Philadelphia, directing me on a mission to the Mississippi Territory. The
Synod of the Carolinas commissioned two other missionaries to accompany me on the tour . . .” This was the first of a series
of Protestant missionary efforts into this part of the Mississippi Territory. Dr. Hall’s account was originally published
in the newspapers. Sabin and Owen cite only the Library of Congress copy of this pamphlet. Three other copies are known to
exist, two in North Carolina (North Western University of N. Carolina, and the Historical Foundation of the Presbyterian and
Reformed Churches, Montreat), and an additional copy in the Library of Congress (Hazard Pamphlets).
