First Presbyterian Church Meeting and Early Revival in Daviess County
A fragment recalls 1811 to 1812 religious activity in the White River area, detailing ministers Breen Hyatt and James McGrady, the Red Banks community, and the founding of the first Presbyterian church in the county. It notes a private preaching start, then a church building with rough rafters, and a revival atmosphere surrounding the camp meeting.
