| Abstract:
|
The Reverend Edward Harris memoir, dated 1872, is a handwritten autobiographical work
by Harris, a Presbyterian minister. Covering the period 1797-1872, Harris chronicles
his various destinations as a minister, his motivations, family and other influences
on his life choices, the manner in which he was called or assigned to various pulpits
or presbyteries, his difficulties and challenges with various congregations, financial
difficulties, health concerns, and his side occupations. Harris's travels took him
from Maine to North Carolina, from eastern Long Island (N.Y.) to Ohio, often repeatedly.
Overall, Harris's memoir provides insight into an itinerant ministry as a career choice,
principally in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, in the nineteenth century.
