Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the earnest efforts of one man to create a theological seminary for training Presbyterian ministers. The author had been asked to lead a seminary but declined in order to establish this new school. The successful new seminary, Union Theological Seminary, was officially founded in 1812 and would continue to thrive, supported by contributions from churches and individuals. Despite the challenge of operating during two periods of widespread depression and a national conflict, the seminary remained operational and successful, training generations of Presbyterian ministers.

Revised 1939 edition of this excellent guide to the first year in 1939 of the Golden Gate International Exposition, including "Cartograph" revealing all of the Art Deco architectural wonders, and surrounding areas of Treasure Island. The pictorial maps were issued separately, as well as with the "Official Guide Books." Ruth Taylor White's (1902-1985) delightful pictographic maps, or cartographs, included depictions of the Territory of Hawaii in which she had driven, or traveled to every corner of the Islands, and the Grand Canyon for her for her brother's book, "Grand Canyon Country." Later Little Brown requested an entire atlas which was published as the very scarce Our U.S.A., "A gay geography." Her cartographs influenced the style of American cartographic illustration for decades afterwards.
