Excerpt from The Pioneer Preacher: An Autobiography<br><br>This book is not written and sent forth to the public because of anything remarkable in the abilities or success of the author.

The statements of all the principal facts may be relied upon. They are too deeply graven on the tablet of memory to be doubted or forgotten. Minute and unimportant variations from literal truth, in some cases it is freely admitted, are possible, and even probable. Let the reader make allowances for such.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
