Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the years preceding the Civil War, Russell Conwell's life began in rural Massachusetts, where he spent his early years on the family farm. He learned a love of the outdoors, honed his skills in resourcefulness and hard work, and developed a passion for reading and learning. This book follows his life from boyhood through his time as a lawyer, Baptist minister, orator, and founder of Temple University. Conwell was a captivating speaker and successful pastor, and in his day, he was known for his powerful lectures that often drew crowds of thousands. Those lectures reflected his progressive social views, his anti-prohibition stance, and his support of women's suffrage. Conwell was a complex man, with strong beliefs and a determination to make a difference in the world. His legacy extends beyond Temple University; he was instrumental in the founding of the Chautauqua movement and was a leading voice in the Prohibition era. This biography offers an in-depth look at the life of an American icon, providing a fascinating glimpse into the social and political landscape of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
