Book Description
Excerpt from Selected Chapters From the History of the Wyandott Mission at Upper Sandusky, Ohio: Under the Direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church It was first determined to present the Whole story of the planting of the Mission by reissuing the complete volume, published by Finley in 1840, but upon hearing that the original plates were no longer to be found, and too great expense would follow from re-publishing the complete original volume, 4232 pages, the writer of this introduction determined to offer selected chapters of the old classic in missions, and so discharge the obligation, in part at least, of offering a memorial volume suitable for the centenary. The recital of the life and work of John Stewart cannot better be given than in the words of Finley which fill the early pages of this memorial volume.

Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Wyandott Mission, at Upper Sandusky, Ohio The Wyandott mission was the first established by the Methodist Episcopal Church on our frontier, for the benefit of the Indians. Here it was satisfactorily ascertained that the Gospel and grace of God could effectually change the heart of savage man - reclaim him from ignorance and sin, and confirm him in the practice of virtue and religion. And such was the signal and extraordinary success of this mission, that it encouraged the Church to devise extensive plans for the conversion of other Indian nations, and excited a confidence and liberality adequate for their accomplishment: so that all our missions now among the Indians may be said, in some sense, to have had their origin in the successful experiment made at Upper Sandusky. As this work treats of subjects deeply interesting to the Christian public, especially to all the friends of missions; and as the author is generally and favorably known, we anticipate for it a very extensive circulation. It may be proper for us to say, in conclusion, the history we now present to the public has been revised for the press, under the direction of the publishers; and although the phraseology has been changed in some places, yet no change has been made to vary the sense of the facts, as narrated by the author. We trust this volume will be perused by many with much satisfaction; and that it will greatly subserve the interests of the missionary cause.

A Sanctuary of Trees
Author: Gene Logsdon
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603584013
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Whether as an adolescent studying at a seminary or as a journalist living just outside Philadelphia's city limits, Gene has always lived and worked close to the woods, and his curiosity and keen sense of observation have taught him valuable lessons about a wide variety of trees: their distinct characteristics and the multiple benefits and uses they have. In addition to imparting many fascinating practical details of woods wisdom, A Sanctuary of Trees is infused with a philosophy and descriptive lyricism that is born from the author's passionate and lifelong relationship with nature:There is a point at which the tree shudders before it begins its descent. Then slowly it tips, picks up speed, often with a kind of wailing death cry from rending wood fibers, and hits the ground with a whump that literally shakes the earth underfoot. The air, in the aftermath, seems to shimmy and shiver, as if saturated with static electricity.

Changing Is Not Vanishing
Author: Robert Dale Parker
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812200063
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Until now, the study of American Indian literature has tended to concentrate on contemporary writing. Although the field has grown rapidly, early works—especially poetry—remain mostly unknown and inaccessible. Changing Is Not Vanishing simultaneously reinvents the early history of American Indian literature and the history of American poetry by presenting a vast but forgotten archive of American Indian poems. Through extensive archival research in small-circulation newspapers and magazines, manuscripts, pamphlets, rare books, and scrapbooks, Robert Dale Parker has uncovered the work of more than 140 early Indian poets who wrote before 1930. Changing Is Not Vanishing includes poems by 82 writers and provides a full bibliography of all the poets Parker has identified—most of them unknown even to specialists in Indian literature. In a wide range of approaches and styles, the poems in this collection address such topics as colonialism and the federal government, land, politics, nature, love, war, Christianity, and racism. With a richly informative introduction and extensive annotation, Changing Is Not Vanishing opens the door to a trove of fascinating, powerful poems that will be required reading for all scholars and readers of American poetry and American Indian literature.
