Life of David Brainerd and his devout career
Brainerd born in Hadden Connecticut in 1718 faced early loss through the deaths of both parents and a childhood marked by solitude and reflection. He pursued study at Yale, joined the ministry, and in 1742 was licensed to preach. He chose to work among the Indians under the Home Mission Society, enduring hardship and danger, and died October 19, 1747, leaving a lasting memory of his sacrifice and devotion.
