Frontier evangelism and camp meetings on the American frontier
The text chronicles early frontier evangelism in the United States from the camp meeting and circuit rider era through Methodist expansion and spirited revivals. It notes figures like Bishop Asbury and Peter Cartwright, describes loud, public demonstrations, and highlights conversions and fiery preaching against moral laxity. Historical reflections reference Abraham Lincoln and 19th century revival methods and results.
