An excellent and very rare memoir and writings of one of the founders of the Free Presbyterian Church, with extensive discussion of their interaction with the American population of both enslaved persons, fugitive slaves, and freedpersons. The Free Presbyterian Chruch Synod of the United States was an anti-slavery denomination first organized under the leadership of influential abolitionist John Rankin as the Free Synod of Cincinnati in 1847. 

The work includes extensive content related to abolitionism, the broader anti-slavery movement, and the Free Presbyterian church’s work among the “colored” populations.

Very scarce in the trade.
