The New England Clergy and the American Revolution (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The New England Clergy and the American Revolution Finally, the following study has not been for me one of merely academic interest. My grandfather, Rev. Josiah Lyman, of Easthampton, Massachusetts, my father, Dr. Fritz W. Bald win, and my uncle, Dr. Albert J. Lyman, were all Congrega tional clergymen; and it was through them that I first learned to appreciate, in some measure, the ministers of New England. To their memory, also, therefore, I owe an expression of my indebtedness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
