Publisher's Synopsis

""Experiences Of The Circuit Rider"" is a memoir written by John Young Leming, chronicling his experiences as a circuit rider in the late 1800s. A circuit rider was a traveling preacher who served multiple churches in rural areas, often traveling long distances on horseback to deliver sermons and provide pastoral care to his congregants. Leming's memoir provides a vivid and detailed account of what life was like for circuit riders during this time period. He describes the challenges of traveling through rough terrain, enduring harsh weather conditions, and dealing with hostile or indifferent communities. He also shares stories of the people he met along the way, including fellow preachers, church members, and even outlaws.Throughout the book, Leming reflects on the importance of faith and the role of the church in people's lives. He discusses the challenges of spreading the gospel in a rapidly changing world, and the ways in which the church adapted to meet the needs of its congregants. Overall, ""Experiences Of The Circuit Rider"" is a fascinating glimpse into a little-known aspect of American history, and a testament to the dedication and perseverance of the men and women who served as circuit riders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
