The text traces his life from birth near Pittsfield to Pontney, his shift back to Bible study during the War of 1812 era, and his rise as a leader of the Adventist movement in Vermont. It notes his date calculations for the Second Coming, the March 1843 prediction, the subsequent misfires, and the public frenzy that followed in towns like Poultney, Castleton, Rutland, and Boston through Joshua V.
