  Bloomfield Academy was founded in 1852 by the Chickasaw Nation in conjunction with missionaries. It remained open for nearly a century, offering Chickasaw girls one of the finest educations in the West. Drawing on letters, reports, interviews with students, and school programs, this work recounts the academy's success story.
