A History of Ten Baptist Churches, first published in the 1820s by
author John Taylor, a pioneer Baptist farmer-preacher, has long
been recognized as an indispensible source for first-hand
information about the religious life of the early American
frontier. In his history Taylor recounted the experiences of
Baptists in Virginia who championed the cause of religious liberty.
He then chronicled the movement of many of those Baptists,
including himself, to the wilderness of central and northern
Kentucky where their church communities both struggled and
flourished. Taylor's vivid accounts are filled with colorful
descriptions of church life, including revivalistic experiences and
doctrinal debates; the challenges of being a minister, including
coping with meager resources and mediating disagreements; and the
problems of rural living, including the dilemma of slavery and
property disputes. Chester Raymond Young has overcome the
difficulties faced by the modern reader in deciphering the
anacronisms, obscurities, and idiosyncrasies of Taylor's narrative.
Young's edition, the first ever annotated one, features a logical
division of Taylor's sentences and paragraphs, a full bibliography
of relevant historical works, tables outlining frontier religious
rhetoric, and an extensive system of annotation that clarifies and
corrects Taylor's account.
