Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler, with Reminiscences by His Daughter Mrs. Rosetta B. Hastings (Dodo Press) by Pardee Butler Pdf
Reverend Pardee Butler (1816-1888) was a farmer and preacher. In 1850 he developed quinsy, causing him to give up preaching in Ohio and move to Cedar County, Iowa to improve his health. Over the next several years he preached in various places in Illinois and Missouri and in early 1855 went to Kansas. It was there that 'the rafting episode' took place on August 18, 1855. He was set adrift on the Missouri River on a raft by pro-slavery men for his abolitionist beliefs. Butler's first-hand account of the episode appears in his Recollections (1889). In 1856 the Republicans became a national party and in 1860 Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican president. The passions of which Butler was a victim continued to ferment in Kansas and the rest of the country and soon led to the Civil War. After the war, Butler continued to preach and farm. He was active in the presidential campaign of 1872. Though often urged by his friends to run for office, Butler invariably refused telling them he "considered the office of a Christian preacher the highest office on earth. "

Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler by Pardee Butler Pdf
Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler: With Reminiscences I have not attempted to write a complete biography of my father, but merely to supplement his "Recollections" with a few of my own reminiscences. He was a man who said little in his family about his early years, or about any of the occurrences of his eventful life. Nor did he ever keep any journal, or any account of his meetings, or of the number that he baptized. He seldom reported his meetings to the newspapers. I think it was only during the few years that he was employed by missionary societies, that he ever made reports of what he accomplished. He had even destroyed the most of his old letters. And so, for nearly all information outside of my own recollections, I have been indebted to the kindness of relatives and friends. The later chapters have been written by men who knew my father intimately, and men whose reputations are such as to give weight to their testimony. To all of these friends I now offer my thanks for their kind assistance. And to the public I offer this book, not for its literary merit, but as the tribute of a daughter to a loved father, whose earnest devotion to duty was worthy of imitation.

Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler by Pardee Butler Pdf
This is a biography of Pardee Butler, written from the point-of-view of his daughter, Rosetta Butler Hastings. He was a farmer and Restoration Movement preacher who lived in Kansas and was involved there in the run-up to the American Civil War. He is remembered in Kansas history for being set adrift on the Missouri River on a raft by pro-slavery men for his abolitionist beliefs.
Despite the immense body of literature about the American Civil War and its causes, the nation’s western involvement in the approaching conflict often gets short shrift. Slavery was the catalyst for fiery rhetoric on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line and fiery conflicts on the western edges of the nation. Driven by questions regarding the place of slavery in westward expansion and by the increasing influence of evangelical Protestant faiths that viewed the institution as inherently sinful, political debates about slavery took on a radicalized, uncompromising fervor in states and territories west of the Mississippi River. Busy in the Cause explores the role of the Midwest in shaping national politics concerning slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. In 1856 Iowa aided parties of abolitionists desperate to reach Kansas Territory to vote against the expansion of slavery, and evangelical Iowans assisted runaway slaves through Underground Railroad routes in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Lowell J. Soike’s detailed and entertaining narrative illuminates Iowa’s role in the stirring western events that formed the prelude to the Civil War.

Quest for a Christian America, 1800–1865 by David Edwin Harrell Pdf
The definitive social history of the Disciples of Christ in the 19th century. The Disciples of Christ, led by reformers such as Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone, was one of a number of early-19th-century primitivist religious movements seeking to "restore the ancient order of things." The Disciples movement was little more than a loose collection of independent congregations until the middle of the 19th century, but by 1900 three clear groupings of churches had appeared. Today, more than 5 million Americans—members of the modern-day Disciples of Christ (Christian Church), Independent Christian Churches, and Churches of Christ, among others—trace their religious heritage to this "Restoration Movement."
Marching armies, cavalry raids, guerilla warfare, massacres, towns and farms in flames—the American Civil War, 1861-1865? No—Kansas, 1854-1861. Before there was Bull Run or Gettysburg, there was Black Jack and Osawatomie. Long before events at Fort Sumter ignited the War Between the States, men fought and died on the Prairies of Kansas over the incendiary issue of slavery. “War to the knife and knife to the hilt,” cried the Atchison Squatter Sovereign. “ Let the watchword be ‘Extermination, total and complete.’” In 1854 a shooting war developed between proslavery men in Missouri and free-staters in Kansas over control of the territory. The prize was whether it would be a slave or free state when admitted to the Union, a question that could decide the balance of power in Washington. Told in the unforgettable words of the men and women involved, War to the Knife is an absorbing account of a bloody episode soon spread east, events in “Bleeding Kansas” have largely been forgotten. But as historian Thomas Goodrich reveals in this compelling saga, what America’s “first civil war” lacked in numbers it more than made up for in ferocity. War to the Knife is a riveting story of blood, fire, and death. It is also a story with an impressive cast of characters: Robert E Lee, William Tecumseh Sherman, Sara Robinson, Jeb Stuart, Abraham Lincoln, Horace Greeley, Julia Lovejoy, William F. Cody. These and more step forward to tell their tale. And casting his long, dark shadow over al is the strange, haunting figure of John Brown—hailed as a prophet by some, denounced as a madman by others.
The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement by Douglas A. Foster Pdf
"Over ten years in the making, The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement offers for the first time a sweeping historical and theological treatment of this complex, vibrant global communion. Written by more than 300 contributors, this major reference work contains over 700 original articles covering all of the significant individuals, events, places, and theological tenets that have shaped the Movement.
