About This Book

A minister recounts two decades of itinerant service through the mountains and valleys of West Virginia, offering episodic anecdotes, portraits of congregations, and reflections on hardships and rural customs. The narrative blends travel notes, house-to-house visitation, circuit preaching, and church-building efforts with moral lessons and humble reminiscence. Scenes emphasize endurance, simple living, local characters, and the daily routines of ministry in isolated communities, while occasional commentary considers the spiritual rewards and challenges of pioneering pastoral work.
