Memoirs of the Life of Nathaniel Stacy

Memoirs of the life of Nathaniel Stacy, preacher of the gospel of universal grace

The frontier memoir of American Universalism. Stacy, a protégé of Hosea Ballou, spent fifty years as a missionary preacher — planting societies across central New York, then Pennsylvania, then the Michigan frontier — riding circuit through wilderness settlements, debating village Calvinists, and living on next to nothing. His plainspoken recollections are both a primary source for the denomination's westward spread and a vivid picture of religious life in early rural America.
