Amerigs First Camp Meetings and Historic Revival in Kentucky
A Nashville correspondent recalls the birth of American camp meetings a century ago. The 1799 Red River Baptist Church event near Port Royal sparked ecstatic worship led by Elders Hodge Rankin McGready and John McGee, with frenzied singing, prostrations, and spontaneous crowd-building across miles to Muddy River Church. The piece details early camp meeting logistics such as makeshift pulpits, tree-seating, and camp tents, marking the first American camp meeting and describing subsequent events and related church notices across Ridgely, Henderson, and nearby areas. It also notes ongoing revival activities and social gatherings by church and youth groups in the region.
