Bible Press in Minnesota's Early Mission Era
Retired agent W. Dickinnon tells the Pioneer Press that Minnesota’s Arad Bible, printed in 1838 on the Lake Pokegama mission press under Rev. Ayer, predates St. Paul newspaper printing and marks the start of American Christian education and commerce in the state. The Bible, in Ojibway, fueled the mission farm and church efforts, illustrating the era’s drive to place scripture in native hands. The Dickinson society, a leading scripture distributor, plans further ventures across the American republic with broad support for the Good Book’s influence.
