Illustrated with charming wood engravings. The Circuit Rider" originally appeared as a serial in The Christian Union. . . . .Whatever is incredible in this story is true. The tale I have to tell will seem strange to those who know little of the social life of the West at the beginning of this century. These sharp contrasts of corn-shuckings and camp-meetings, of wild revels followed by wild revivals' these contacts of highwayman and preacher; this mélange of picturesque simplicity, grotesque humor and savage ferocity, of abandoned wickedness and austere piety, can hardly seem real to those who know the country now. But the books of biography and reminiscence which preserve the memory of that time more than justify what is marvelous in these pages.

Mankind are all more or less imbued with the spirit of Robinson Crusoe; and we daily see those whose incurable restlessness strikingly assimilates their real characters to the ideal one, of that universal favorite, in his goat-skin breeches, with his man Friday, dancing cats, and parrot. The same individual will be found, in childhood, on the raft, - in boyhood, in the boat, - in manhood, in the ship; and finally, when the lull of old age comes over him, and he is hauled up on shore, he will still exclaim, like the ancient mariner, whose narrative forms a part of the present volume....To conclude: The narratives in this volume are all true, - true in generalities, true in… Read More

The first advance of the missionaries to Ngoniland was in 1878 in the face of much personal danger. The first interviews with Mombera and his bloodthirsty chiefs,… Read More
