Publisher's Synopsis
The Snow Shoe Itinerant: An Autobiography is a book written by John J. Dyer and first published in 1890. The book is an autobiographical account of Dyer's life as a Methodist preacher in the United States during the mid-19th century. Dyer was known as the ""snow shoe itinerant"" because he traveled on foot through the snow-covered wilderness of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota to preach to the settlers in those areas. In the book, Dyer describes his childhood in New York, his conversion to Methodism, and his decision to become a preacher. He then recounts his experiences traveling on foot from one settlement to another, often enduring extreme weather conditions and sleeping in the open air. Dyer also describes the challenges he faced in preaching to the settlers, including language barriers and skepticism from those who were not familiar with Methodism. The Snow Shoe Itinerant: An Autobiography provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a Methodist preacher during a time of great change in the United States. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by early settlers in the Midwest and the role that religion played in their lives. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Methodism in the United States or the history of the Midwest in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
