Young was 82 years old (b1775) and is based on his recollections as a circuit riding preacher in the 1800s in Ohio and Kentucky. This book not only details the experiences in the life of Mr. Young but presents a vivid picture, or instead, a series of vivid images of the life and conditions of the frontier. Moreover, although he became a recognized leader in his denomination, he never became a high-ranking permanent official. Instead, he remained through his long life, a pioneer clergyman, never out of touch with the ordinary people whom he served so long and so faithfully. Therefore, his story gives a better picture of real life among the people, perhaps that could have been given by a bishop, a college president, or a long-retired worker out of touch with the people about whom he was writing. A somewhat fragile but still readable copy.
