The oldest school for deaf students in America, ASD had been cofounded by renowned deaf French teacher Laurent Clerc, thus inspiring Gaillard's invitation. Gaillard visited deaf people everywhere he went and recorded his impressions in a detailed journal. His essays present a sharply focused portrait of the many facets of Deaf America during a pivotal year in its history. Gaillard crossed the Atlantic only a few weeks after the United States entered World War I. In his writings, he reports the efforts of American deaf leaders to secure employment for deaf workers to support the war effort. He also witnesses spirited speeches at the National Association of the Deaf convention decrying the replacement of sign language by oral education. Gaillard also depicts the many local institutions established by deaf Americans, such as Philadelphia's All Souls Church, founded in 1888 by the country's first ordained deaf pastor, and the many deaf clubs established by the first wave of deaf college graduates in their communities. His journal stands as a unique chronicle of the American Deaf community during a remarkable era of transition. 410 0$aGallaudet classics in deaf studies ;$v3. 606 $aDeaf people$zUnited States 606 $aDeaf people$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 615 10$aDeaf people 615 0$aDeaf people$xSocial conditions. 676 $a362.4/22/097309041 700 $aGaillard$b Henri$f1866-$01806095 701 $aBuchanan$b Robert M$01806096 702 $aSayers$b William$4trl 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963911103321 996 $aGaillard in deaf America : a portrait of the deaf community, 1917$94355075 997 $aUNINA
