"The History of the First School for DeafMutes of America" chronicles the establishment and early years of what is now known as the American School for the Deaf, a pioneering institution in the education of deaf individuals in the United States. Founded in 1817 by Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, the school played a crucial role in developing American Sign Language and shaping deaf education practices.
