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.

"I am thankful for an opportunity to recommend this remarkable work by Dr. Butler to everybody with whom my words can have the least weight—clergy or laity, man or woman, persons of much or little reading. It is difficult to think of any class of minds too high or too low to be quickened and instructed by it."—Rt. Rev. F.D. Huntington, Bishop of Central New York.

"I find the plan to be unlike that of any other with which I am acquainted, and the execution very successful. I am confident that it will take its place with students by the side of the ordinary commentaries, and will be esteemed a very valuable addition to the religious reading of Christian families."—Noah Porter, D.D., President of Yale College.
