About this book
In the early 20th century, as America expanded its frontiers, the role of circuit riders became vital in spreading faith across remote communities. "A Circuit Rider's Wife" by Corra Harris offers a poignant glimpse into this era through the eyes of Mary Elizabeth Eden, who navigates the trials and tribulations of life alongside her husband, a dedicated Methodist minister. Readers will discover the unique challenges of pastoral life, from the isolation of frontier towns to the unyielding commitment to faith and community. This compelling narrative is ideal for students, civic activists, and historians seeking to understand the intersection of religion and American expansionism. Harris's vivid storytelling captures the resilience of those who served the spiritual needs of a growing nation.
