A wonderful early Methodist autobiography. Includes first-hand accounts of negro and slave preachers of the time from the deep south, Methodist work in Texas, revivals, camp-meetings, and a final section on biographies of important Methodists of the time, including Daniel Wise, W. P. Strickland, etc.

Poor reading copy, essentially disbound, but complete. This is a wonderful book, but not a pretty copy.
