John Heyl Vincent's Reminiscences: Autobiographical Writings of the Founding Superintendent of Chautauqua - Hardcover

by Timothy S. Binkley (Editor)

Chautauqua Institution co-founder Rev. John Heyl Vincent was a prolific writer on religion, education, and history. Among Vincent's numerous published works were a few autobiographical writings. These essays describing family and personal history were forgotten soon after Vincent's death in 1920. More than a century later, thirty-three of his personal narratives have been gathered into a single volume. John Heyl Vincent's Reminiscences invites readers to learn directly from Bishop Vincent about the experiences that shaped his life, his convictions, and the Chautauqua idea.
