This scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Kessinger
Publishing's Legacy Reprint Series. Due to its age, it may contain
imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed
pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we
have made it available as part of our commitment to protecting,
preserving, and promoting the world's literature. Kessinger

hard-to-find books with something of interest for everyone!
This last criticism invites us to notice--all too briefly--a phase
of King's experience in New England fitting him most admirably for
the larger work he was to do on the Pacific Coast. From 1840 to
1860 the Lyceum flourished in the United States as never before or
since. Large numbers of lecture courses, extending even to the
small cities and towns, were liberally patronized and generously
supported. In many communities this was the one diversion and the
one extravagance.

"King's personality was magnetic and winning. Gentleness radiated
from him as light radiates from the sun. No one could resist the
charm and fascination of his presence.... There was in his face the
serenity of one who had seen a vision, and to whom the vision had
become a benediction..."-from "Philanthropist and
Preacher"German-American minister Thomas Starr King was already
famous for his oratory in New England when he arrived in San
Francisco at the age of 35, in 1860, and over the next few years,
his tireless energy and the fiery passion of his public rhetoric
would be instrumental in maintaining California within the Union
during the Civil War. This 1917 biography of the "preacher-patriot"
is a stirring tribute to an unsung hero of Californian-and
American-history, and it will delight Civil War buffs who thought
they'd heard all the stories that dramatic period had to
tell.American writer WILLIAM DAY SIMONDS (1855-1920) also wrote The
Christ of the Human Heart, Patriotic Addresses, and Sermons from
Shakespeare.
