On March 3, 1887, a young Miss Annie Sullivan, but lately graduated from the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston, arrived in Tuscumbia, Ala., to begin the education of a deaf, dumb and blind child, not quite seven years old, whose name was Helen Keller. Teacher, the little girl called her on that miraculous day about a month later when she first discovered that things and people had names; Teacher she remained for nearly half a century until her death in 1936. In this journal Helen Keller reveals her spirit in a way that no other book could and is surely one of the most courageous records ever published.
