1871 PETER CARTWRIGHT. Fifty Years as a Presiding Elder. Gifted by Cartwright. Rare! Cane Ridge Revival &c.

A wonderful presentation copy of the autobiography of Peter Cartwright . . . Cartwright [1785-1872] was converted during the Can Ridge Revival and became one of the most influential and controversial Methodist figures of the early and mid-19th century Methodism. 

Cartwright is also remembered as having run against Abraham Lincoln in Illinois; fascinating account of their relationship here:
