Throughout the book, Leming reflects on the spiritual and moral dilemmas faced by circuit riders, such as the tension between serving God and serving the interests of the church hierarchy. He also provides insights into the social and political context of the time, including the impact of the Civil War and the Reconstruction era.Overall, ""Experiences Of The Circuit Rider"" is a compelling and informative read that sheds light on a fascinating chapter of American history and provides a unique perspective on the role of religion in shaping the country's cultural identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
