The Story of Laura Bridgman
E. F. Hunter - All of us have heard about Helen Keller, but most of us today do not know of Laura, the little girl who, almost fifty years before Helen, made enormous strides against the same handicap. In fact, it was Laura's accomplishments that pioneered the way for Helen. Laura Bridgman's story is a dramatic one, a story of intelligence and courage, told with sympathy and understanding. At the Perkins Institute, she became the first deaf-blind child ever to be taught to make herself understood and to understand what others wanted to tell her. Laura's remarkable story provides inspiration for young readers.
