About This Item
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, [1914]. . 8vo, green cloth, spine faded; gilt title on front cover and spine. FIRST EDITION; Moebs 514 (p. 169); Work p. 350 (citing, in error, publisher as Neale).Steward (1843-1924) was born in Gouldtown, Pennsylvania, one of the oldest African-American settlements in the state. He was ordained in the African American Episcopal Church in 1864. After the Civil War ended he moved to Charleston, S.C. to teach among the freemen. He attracted the ire of the local Klu Klux Klan by calling for Federal troops to combat their activities and his life was threatened--he moved back North in 1871, preaching in Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware. In 1886 he was given the pastorate of the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington which Frederick Douglass attended. From 1891 to 1907 he was an army chaplain. In 1904 he wrote a military history,"The Colored Regulars of the United States Army". He also wrote an early African American novel, "A Charleston Love Story, or Hortense Vanross".
