"The American Missionary — Volume 42, No. 12, December, 1888" by Various is a historical account and publication focused on the efforts and initiatives of the American Missionary Association during the late 19th century. The publication reflects the societal challenges and religious motivations of the time, especially concerning the education and upliftment of African Americans and Indigenous peoples in the aftermath of the Civil War. At the start of this volume, there is significant emphasis on the Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association, highlighting the enthusiasm and commitment of its members.

The narrative introduces various reports and discussions from the meeting, focusing on topics such as the impact of education on freedmen, the importance of continued financial support from churches, and the power of community involvement. The discussions underscore a sense of hope mixed with the stark reality of ongoing societal challenges facing marginalized groups.
