In the backwoods of early nineteenth-century Ohio, life turns on corn-shuckings, frolics, fights and the fall hunt. Morton Goodwin, a reckless young settler rejected by the proud Patty Lumsden, falls under the influence of the travelling Methodist preachers and takes to the saddle himself, riding a circuit through dangerous country among horse thieves and scoffers.
A vivid record of frontier religion and rough settlement life by the author of The Hoosier School-Master, himself once a circuit preacher. Download the free EPUB.
