The Galax Gatherers

"For most of his adult life, Guerrant traveled the hills and hamlets of southern Appalachia, spreading gospel, building churches, and recording his keen observations of the landscape and the people. In 1910, Guerrant published The Galax Gatherers: The Gospel among the Highlanders, an account of these travels and his efforts at establishing home missionaries. He was remarkably successful: he recruited nearly three thousand new Church members in his first four-year term as "Synodical Evangelist," organized twenty-five congregations, and built fifteen houses of worship. Reissued here for the first time, this book is a fascinating look at Guerrant's beliefs, prejudices, and vision for a people Guerrant regarded as "left behind" by the modern world."--Back cover.
