This book explores the early history of Methodism in the state of Indiana, dating back to the year 1800 when the territory was still home to a collection of scattered settlements. The arrival of several Methodist preachers and local exhorters in the early 1800s marked the genesis of the Methodist denomination in the region, and over the next few decades, the number of Methodist circuits and membership in the area increased steadily. The author traces the establishment of various circuits, the appointment of circuit preachers, and the challenges faced by these itinerant ministers as they traveled from place to place, often enduring harsh conditions to spread the Methodist message. The book also sheds light on the significant role played by camp meetings in fostering religious revival and growth. The author places the development of Methodism in Indiana within the context of the broader history of the Methodist movement in the United States, highlighting the influence of prominent figures like William McKendree, John Sale, and Peter Cartwright. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive account of the early growth and establishment of the Methodist denomination in Indiana.
