This edition is set against the backdrop of a post-Civil War America, where critical issues of race, education, and social reform are at the forefront. The content emphasizes the importance of missionary work in uplifting the African American community and conveying Christian values and education. The opening of this volume presents an overview of the AMA's mission, highlighting their financial struggles and dependence on the generosity of supporters to fund their initiatives. Early sections discuss the educational needs in the South, particularly in mountain regions, as well as the work conducted in schools aimed at marginalized groups, including African Americans and Native Americans.
