By James Leaton

Subjects: Methodism, Methodist Episcopal Church, History

Description: The four parts of the book are: -Western Conference, 1793-1811 (seems to include Kentucky and Illinois) -Tennessee Conference, 1812-1815 -Missouri Conference, 1816-1823 -Illinois Conference, 1824-1831 Within each of these parts there are chapters for each year that cover that year’s conference (if there was one), principal people and events in the establishment and growth of churches, and some miscellaneous other topics. The author said that, “This is not so much a history as a collection of material for the use of the future historian.”
