Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often overlooked history of Protestant Christianity in Mississippi and the Southwest. The author, a descendant of some of the region's earliest settlers, meticulously reconstructs the events that led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations in the face of both hostile Native American tribes and the pervasive influence of Spanish Catholicism. Through detailed accounts of individual families and their struggles to practice their faith, the book reveals the human costs of religious persecution and the tenacious spirit of early American settlers in a challenging frontier environment. From the arrival of the first Protestant minister, Rev. Samuel Swayze, to the arrival of the first Baptist families and the subsequent persecution they faced under the Spanish government, the book vividly paints a picture of the hardships faced by these early pioneers in their quest to build a new life and a religious community in the wilderness. The book also explores the important role of individuals like Richard Curtis, a courageous Baptist preacher who faced imprisonment and exile for his unwavering faith. Through these intimate narratives, the book offers a unique glimpse into the development of religious freedom in the American South, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of early Protestant settlers in a region where faith was often tested. The book's insights into the complex interplay of religion, politics, and social change in the formative years of American expansion make it a valuable contribution to the understanding of this pivotal period in the nation's history.
