Excerpt from Recollections of a Missionary in the Great West The dean is dead now, but the young man will never forget him. He was a great hearted, manly, Christian man, able, devoted, hard-working, and so beloved by all who came in contact with him that the papers said of him after he entered into life, what Motley said of William the Silent: When he died the little children cried in the streets. And the words were exactly true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Missionary Bishop My dear wife preserved no little of memoranda of my life in the Rocky Mountains. Once and again she importuned me to gather it together into a connected recital. When in 1889 we had settled upon having a summer cottage on Lake Michigan, I yielded to her request and began these "Reminiscences." I could give to them only my summer vacations. Pressing duties of life allowed me no other time. I finished them in 1904. I have only two motives in printing them. First, to accede to the wishes of one dear to me, whose desire I want all the more to comply with since she has been taken from my side. Second, to pen an honest record out from a tenderly grateful heart of how kind and good and helpful to a brother man were those who were wrong in belief and those who were wild and wicked in conduct of the men whom he knew and loved "in the mountains." The Rev. G.D. B. Miller has added to his life of faithful help to me the great kindness of supervising the printing and publishing of this volume.
