'Twenty Years on Horseback; or, Itinerating in West Virginia' Summary
'Twenty Years on Horseback' is a fascinating and insightful memoir that provides a unique window into the life of an itinerant preacher in 19th-century West Virginia. Weekley's experiences are both heartwarming and challenging. He encounters poverty, illness, and social prejudices, yet he also witnesses acts of kindness, resilience, and deep faith. The book is a testament to the power of belief and the importance of community in the face of adversity. Weekley's narrative is rich in detail, offering readers a sense of the physical landscape, the social customs, and the spirit of the people of the region. While focused on religious work, the book transcends mere theological exploration, offering a comprehensive view of life in a remote and often overlooked part of the country.Book Details
