About This Book

A firsthand memoir of life serving as an itinerant religious worker and Bible-society agent on the Southwestern frontier, recounting long horseback travel and immersion in pioneer communities. The narrative mixes personal anecdotes and observation of local customs—hospitality, basket-meetings, barbecues, baptisms, weddings—alongside accounts of political canvassing, candidating, circuit-riding, illiterate preachers, and fervent lay workers. Descriptive passages evoke rural landscapes, social intercourse, and the power of sacred song, while concluding reflections consider the practical labors undertaken and the moral and communal character shaped by religious activity in that region.
