Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the remarkable life of Jacob Bailey, a frontier missionary born in Massachusetts in 1731. The author draws heavily from Bailey's own extensive personal journals to present an intimate account of his subject's early years, his education, including a vivid portrayal of social mores at Harvard in the 18th century, his ordination as a minister in the Episcopal Church, and his missionary work among remote settlements in frontier Maine and Nova Scotia. The book also examines the broader context of Bailey's life, exploring the social, religious, and political landscape of 18th-century New England, and the challenges faced by those who sought to bring spiritual comfort to isolated communities. Through Bailey's experiences, the author sheds light on the themes of religious devotion, the importance of education, and the complexities of life in a rapidly changing world. The insights offered in this book will appeal to anyone interested in American history, the history of religion in the United States, and the experiences of those who shaped the nation's identity.
