Book Description
Excerpt from Henry Ward Beecher: As His Friends Saw Him We have gathered into these pages views of Henry Ward Beecher by men who lived in the atmosphere of Plymouth Church as he created it and as it has survived him, such men as Lyman Abbott and Rossiter W. Raymond; by men whose genius has received shape and direction at his hands, such as Gunsaulus and Hillis; by men who felt the impulse of his power over their childhood and youth, such as Edward Bok and R. D. Mallary; by men who have felt the breath of his inspiration in other lands and through his books, such as W. J. Dawson and A. B. Penniman; and by those who have known and loved him in their various spheres of service, such as Julia Ward Howe, Amory H. Bradford and John R. Howard. The time in which this service could be done as it is done here is swiftly passing away. Year by year the circle is narrowed of those who knew Mr. Beecher intimately. Already a generation has reached middle life to whom he is known, if at all, only as a genius of a former period of our history now separated by much more than the mark which divides the nineteenth century from present affairs. The composite picture here given is in a sense new, for we believe it is the first collection which has been made of the carefully recorded impressions of so many of his personal friends, disciples and admirers. It is not likely that such a collection will again be attempted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
No one predicted success for Henry Ward Beecher at his birth in 1813. The blithe, boisterous son of the last great Puritan minister, he seemed destined to be overshadowed by his brilliant siblings—especially his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, who penned the century’s bestselling book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. But when pushed into the ministry, the charismatic Beecher found international fame by shedding his father’s Old Testament–style fire-and-brimstone theology and instead preaching a New Testament–based gospel of unconditional love and healing, becoming one of the founding fathers of modern American Christianity. By the 1850s, his spectacular sermons at Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Heights had made him New York’s number one tourist attraction, so wildly popular that the ferries from Manhattan to Brooklyn were dubbed “Beecher Boats.” Beecher inserted himself into nearly every important drama of the era—among them the antislavery and women’s suffrage movements, the rise of the entertainment industry and tabloid press, and controversies ranging from Darwinian evolution to presidential politics. He was notorious for his irreverent humor and melodramatic gestures, such as auctioning slaves to freedom in his pulpit and shipping rifles—nicknamed “Beecher’s Bibles”—to the antislavery resistance fighters in Kansas. Thinkers such as Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, and Twain befriended—and sometimes parodied—him. And then it all fell apart. In 1872 Beecher was accused by feminist firebrand Victoria Woodhull of adultery with one of his most pious parishioners. Suddenly the “Gospel of Love” seemed to rationalize a life of lust. The cuckolded husband brought charges of “criminal conversation” in a salacious trial that became the most widely covered event of the century, garnering more newspaper headlines than the entire Civil War. Beecher survived, but his reputation and his causes—from women’s rights to progressive evangelicalism—suffered devastating setbacks that echo to this day. Featuring the page-turning suspense of a novel and dramatic new historical evidence, Debby Applegate has written the definitive biography of this captivating, mercurial, and sometimes infuriating figure. In our own time, when religion and politics are again colliding and adultery in high places still commands headlines, Beecher’s story sheds new light on the culture and conflicts of contemporary America.
