Excerpt from Pleasant Recollections Characters and Works of Noble Men, Old Scenes and Merry Times

Rev. Dr. J mcfarland, president of Iowa Wesleyan University, says: The Rev. J ohn Burgess has read to me parts of several chapters of his Autobiography. I was much interested in these accounts of his early life. From those portions which he read to me, and the out line of what he has already written and proposes to write, I think it will make an interesting and valuable book, well worthy of publication. As a contribution to the history of a most interesting period of our Church and country, this life-history deserves to be given a per manent record.

The Hon. Samuel M. Clark, editor of the Gate City, Keokuk, Iowa, a son of a distinguished pioneer Meth odist preacher, says: Rev. J ohn Burgess, the veteran Methodist preacher, is writing his life for publication. We have looked over it, heard a good deal of it read, and can thus speak somewhat advisedly about it. It is the best writing he has done, and will be a very reada ble book. The itinerant Methodist ministers have been so large a factor in the settlement and making of the country, and especially of the West, that to tell their history is to tell a large part of American history. The pioneer conditions of life in Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa are so rapidly becoming things of the past, and fading out of memory, that the biography of those Who took part in it is just now about the most valuable sort of book-mak ing that can be done in the West. It is more valuable than more pretentious literary work. The future will need these records, and the future historian will be much aided by the biography of Methodist preachers. So we are glad that Mr. Burgess has undertaken his book.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rich anthology of personal and historical reflections from the author's life and ministry. Covering formative moments from his upbringing, such as the influence of his deeply religious parents and the impact of Methodism in his community, the author provides vivid accounts of his journey as a young man grappling with faith and purpose. The book offers insightful anecdotes on the challenges and triumphs faced by Methodist ministers in the early days of the American frontier. It sheds light on the role of the church in shaping communities and the dedication of those who brought spiritual guidance to often isolated and underserved areas. Beyond its historical value, the book explores universal themes of faith, duty, and personal growth, posing questions and offering reflections still relevant to readers today. The author's journey encourages introspection and a deeper understanding of our responsibilities towards ourselves and others, ultimately leading to a greater appreciation of the transformative power of spirituality.
