A superb little volume demonstrating the faith of influential Christians in every sphere through history. including:
The signers of the Declaration of Independence, i.e. Samuel Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Matthew Thornton, Samuel Huntington, Wiliam Williams, Philip Livingston, Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon, John Hart, Benjamin Rush, John Morton, Samuel Chase, George Washington, etc.
Revolutionary War Generals, i.e. Timothy Pickering, Isaac Shelby, Benjamin Lincoln, John Brooks, Matthew Clarkson, etc.
Governors of Plymouth Colony, etc., i.e. William Bradford, Edward Winslow, John Winthrop, etc.
Other sections on poets and other luminaries, but the majority of the volume occupied with establishing the Christian origins of American identity. Scarce. No copies on the market.
Caldwell, Merritt. Christianity Tested by Eminent Men: Being Brief Sketches of Christian Biography. New York. Lane & Scott. 1852. 218pp.
Good + to very good in original cloth, small nicks and losses just barely at extremities. Interior very sound and crisp with some very minor foxing.
