• Excerpt from Selected Chapters From the History of the Wyandott Mission at Upper Sandusky, Ohio: Under the Direction of the Methodist Episcopal ChurchA brief quotation from the Macaulay of Meth odism, Dr. Abel Stevens, gives us a living picture of Finley: Few men have attained more distinction as evangelical pioneers of the West. he was, in all respects, a genuine child of the wilderness, one of its best typical men, of stalwart frame, features rather coarse, but with large, benevolent eyes, sandy hair, standing erect, a good expressive mouth, a voice like thunder, and a courage that made riotous opposers (whom he Often encoun tered) quail before him.~ He did not hesitate to seize disturbers of his meetings, shake them in his athletic grasp, and pitch them out Of the windows or doors. Withal, his heart was most genial, his discourses full of pathos, and his friendships the most tender and lasting. Finley died, Septem ber 6, 1856, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His fame as a preacher, as a man of indomitable courage, which led the Indians to respect him. as a friend of men, which led them to trust and love him as few white men have been loved by Indians - these all abide more lasting than bronze.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
