One work states By Charles Stearns, a northern teacher, missionary, and planter, and an eye-witness of many of the scenes described [1] and living in Boston in 1851 [2]

This is the only Charles Stearns living in Boston in 1850 USA census who seems to be suitably educated to be writing books. 1850 right industry for books; 1869 right location and occupation; 1880 right occupation per 1872 book; death right occupation. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:41, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
