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

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)
