Most people don't know the true story ofthe little boy who came to be known as Douglas Craig. He was found wanderingaround the streets of Washington, D.C. He could not hear or speak. At night, hedrew the knees up to his body in doorways and slept. Sometimes people pitiedhim and gave him food and clothing. If not, he ate what he could find ingarbage cans.

Dr. E. M. Gallaudet at Gallaudet Collegelet him stay in the Kendall School until he was old enough to work. He becamethe best "handy man" that Gallaudet had ever had. He had many duties,such as picking up mail at the post office, mowing grass, tending the flowerbeds, and carrying notes from the boys to the girls. Clearly, he was a familiarsight on campus.

It is said that Douglas courted(求爱) a black woman fromBaltimore.
