Abstract
Elihu Burritt (1810–1879) was a self-taught blacksmith by trade who mastered some forty languages while growing up in New England. A publicist at heart and an idealist in temperament, Burritt singlehandedly founded the most famous nonsectarian peace organization of his century, League of Universal Brotherhood. His organization linked the American cause to sympathetic counterparts on the British Isles and the European continent. Reaching out primarily to the laboring masses in the United States and abroad, he carried his message of peace through his short-lived weekly newspaper (Christian Citizen), his “Friendly Addresses” filled with signatures on both sides of the Atlantic that he personally delivered to officials in Washington DC, and his “The Olive Leaf Mission” through which peace messages were inserted in some forty continental newspapers and in presses in the United States. At the time of his death in 1879, he was considered the most popular peace figure in nineteenth-century America.
