1870 PETER CARTWRIGHT. Autobiography of Revivalist, Peter Cartwright. The Backwoods Preacher. Anglican not only a fascinating pieceOne of the liveliest preaching memoirs of the 19th century. Peter Cartwright [1785 1872]. He was one of the true founders of the Second Great Awakening, baptizing over 12,000 converts personally. He was also at the forefront of abolition, relocating from Kentucky to Illinois to run for Congress as part of the anti slavery cause. He served, beginning in 1828, but was defeated in 1846 by, well, Abraham Lincoln. So we'll give him a pass on that.
