Very scare work, not present in auction records or the trade, regarding this important Michigan Territory Baptist pioneer missionary, church-planter, etc., 

Originally from New York, he was sent out from the throes of the Second Great Awakening as a Baptist Missionary. He first arrived in what is now Northville, Michigan [Detroit] in 1833 and planted or strengthened churches in Northville, Farmington, and Plymouth. Excellent account of a revival in Farmington in the present.

The work also contains fascinating content related to his early experiences in Michigan, his engagement with the subject of slavery and re-colonization of the slaves to Africa [Ethiopia, Liberia, etc.]. He hints at the beginning of "reservation" states for the Native Americans in Michigan, etc., Very scarce early Michigan / Detroit imprint.
