Lost Chapters Recovered

This is a unique bit of Methodist history. It was compiled from what was a "lost book" of history. It covers the time from 1768 to 1797, and is an interesting look into the past. It is a must have for anyone who is perusing the histories as penned by Abel Stevens or Nathan Bangs.

This eBook edition has been faithful to keep the images and graphs that were found in the original book. It is a larger file, due to over 50 illustrations and graphs.
