Review

"An interesting and useful primary source, particularly for its account of his work among the Cherokees and homesteading life in the West."—Choice (Choice )

"Through his many and varied travels, this ''ordinary'' man provides the discerning reader with insights into the fascinating world . . . of the nineteenth century."—North Carolina Historical Review (North Carolina Historical Review )

"A fascinating recollection of the life and times of a man who, among many other activities, served as a Baptist minister to the Cherokees during the American Civil War. . . . A wonderful narrative of life in nineteenth-century America, which students of history in and out of scholarly circles will find intriguing."—James Klein, The Chronicles of Oklahoma (James Klein The Chronicles of Oklahoma )

“This autobiography of a Southern Baptist minister provides an interesting glimpse of the lives of ordinary people in the antebellum South and in Indian Territory during the Civil War. . . . It reveals on a personal level that history is not necessarily composed only of earth-shattering events but of the humble activities of men and women who encounter failure as often (or perhaps more often) than success but remain undaunted.”—Clara Sue Kidwell, Journal of Southern History (Clara Sue Kidwell Journal of Southern History )

"An excellent book. . . . Readable and informative."—Daniel Johnson, Journal of the West (Daniel Johnson Journal of the West )
