From the author’s preface, “It was not my purpose, in the preparation of this little volume, to make it an autobiography, but rather a narration of incidents connected with the twenty years of humble service which I tried to render the United Brethren Church among the mountains of West Virginia. These incidents present an all-round view, in outline, of the real life and labors of the itinerant preacher, a third of a century ago, in an isolated section, where the most simple and primitive customs prevailed.” Asbury University Chapel Asbury University https://www.asbury.edu Asbury Seminary Kentucky Chapel Asbury Theological Seminary The Whole Bible for the Whole World
