Biography & Memoir

Twenty-five years in the West

The rollicking memoir of a Universalist circuit-rider and publisher on the frontier. Manford tramped and rode through Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and beyond, preaching universal salvation in courthouses, schoolrooms, and groves, challenging orthodox ministers to public debate, and founding Manford's Magazine to carry the message farther. His account of pioneer travel, camp-meeting religion, and frontier controversy is as much western Americana as denominational history.
