Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesse Walker, Pioneer Preacher Gathering material and information on Jesse Walker has been a difficult assignment. All I had to go on before were generalities, hearsay, and a couple of things I was able to uncover in our church office. He appears to have been well known among his friends and personal acquaintances; and mention is made of him in the Will County History. It seems though that Rev. Walker was a modest man who didn't spend much time trying to immortalize himself. Much has been written about him, but sparingly and this is somewhat hard to trace. Men of lesser fame have written their own stories, but it seems Jesse Walker never did and, if indeed he did, it has since been lost to us. Also, his trail is difficult to follow for he covered a great deal of territory during his pioneer ministry on the frontier. Frontiers are not known for their newspapers, nor for giving people the time to read and write things like journals or diaries. Jesse Walker's frontier was no different. We must remember too that he lived here about one hundred and fifty years ago and time has a way of making the past appear dimand distant. So, when preparing this manuscript it was under these difficulties and drawbacks that I labored; I only hope that the end result will not disappoint you too much. In this paper on the life and career of the Rev. Jesse Walker I will draw largely on a few limited, but original sources and writings. We have access to personal accounts of Walker by John Scripps and the Bishop Thomas A. Morris, who both traveled many long and weary miles with him in the wilderness. I also use the work of the Rev. Stephen R. Beggs, who quotes from a manuscript which may have been prepared by Walker himself and later lost, and he adds information of his own that he got firsthand from Jesse Walker during their four or five year association here in northern Illinois when Walker was by then in his latter years. Peter Cartwright, who was also very famous in his own right, was a close, personal friend of Walker's and he leaves us some, brief information of him. I draw on that relationship in this paper. The Rev. A. D. Field, a Methodist historian of the Rock River Conference, followed closely on Walker's career, especially in Chicago, and he leaves us some information and later material which I use here. There have been references made to Walker also'by others who knew him, but they are rather small, brief, and scattered and not really of too much use to me in this endeavor.

Book Synopsis Peter Cartwright, Legendary Frontier Preacher by : Robert Bray
Download or read book Peter Cartwright, Legendary Frontier Preacher written by Robert Bray and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing deeply that the gospel touched every aspect of a person's life, Peter Cartwright was a man who held fast to his principles, resulting in a life of itinerant preaching and thirty years of political quarrels with Abraham Lincoln. Peter Cartwright, Legendary Frontier Preacher is the first full-length biography of this most famous of the early nineteenth-century Methodist circuit-riding preachers. Robert Bray tells the full story of the long relationship between Cartwright and Lincoln, including their political campaigns against each other, their social antagonisms, and their radical disagreements on the Christian religion, as well as their shared views on slavery and the central fact of their being "self-made." In addition, the biography examines in close detail Cartwright's instrumental role in Methodism's bitter "divorce" of 1844, in which the southern conferences seceded in a remarkable prefigurement of the United States a decade later. Finally, Peter Cartwright attempts to place the man in his appropriate national context: as a potent "man of words" on the frontier, a self-authorizing "legend in his own time," and, surprisingly, an enduring western literary figure.

Book excerpt: "For well over its 130-year existence, River Grove has been a place to call home, first by the Native American tribes, then by a few settlers--mostly of Germanic origin--to the melting pot it has become today. Through photographs, the reader will travel from the farmlands it once contained to a Polynesian paradise nestled near the banks of the Des Plaines River; a town where a thirsty whale could satisfy its appetite with legendary Vienna Red Hots, no ketchup, of course, and a mai tai. Considered a real-life "Mayberry" by longtime residents, it continues to have that small-town feel amid the hustle and bustle of a village bordering the metropolis that is Chicago. The oldest town in Leyden Township has literally weathered many storms--and floods--and as the townsfolk stood shoulder to shoulder filling sandbags, they realized that they indeed inhabit a 'village of friendly neighbors'"--Back cover.
