Salvation Army’s New World Venture Began Fifty Years Ago

Fifty years ago on March 10 the pioneer Salvation Army party landed at the Battery New York City led by Commissioner George Railton with seven women and one man. The band members and Railton faced rough seas and initial indifference before the group preached and organized in Castle Garden and other venues. The voyage featured a dramatic shipboard moment, a prayer by Elijah Cadman, and a rapid spread of meetings that soon drew crowds and conversion stories including “Ash-barrel Jimmy.” The movement grew through 1880 with Railton’s return to England and the first War Cry in 1881 signaling the start of a durable era for the Salvation Army in America.
