Book excerpt: Excerpt from the Introduction:"The incidents, manners and customs of frontier life in the country once called the "Far West,"-now the valley of the Mississippi, are interesting to all classes. The religious events and labors of good men in "works of faith and labors of love" among the early pioneers of this valley, cannot fail to attract the attention of young persons in the family circle, and children in Sabbath schools.The author of this work, as the commencement of a series of Pioneer Books, has chosen for a theme a man of singularly benevolent and philanthropic feelings; peculiarly amiable in manners and social intercourse; with habits of great self-denial; unusually disinterested in his labors, and the first preacher of the gospel who ventured to carry the "glad tidings" into the Spanish country on the western side of the Great River."This edition is a reprint of a book published in 1855.
