LEWIS, John W.
The Life, Labors and Travels of Elder Charles Bowles, of the Free Will Baptist Denomination
Ingalls & Stowell's Steam Press Watertown (NY) 1852 First First edition. 285, (2) pp. Octavo. Original cloth. Some slight loss to the cloth at the spinal extremities, small stain on the front board, some scattered foxing and a very light tide mark to the top of the first few pages, still a fresh, very good copy of this biography of an African-American clergyman, by a member of his congregation, based on interviews, church records and a journal kept by Bowles. The work chronicles his life and provides much information on the history of black churches and their relations to black communities in the North before the Civil War. The volume also contains "An Essay on the Character and Condition of the African Race" by Lewis, and "An Essay on the Fugitive Law of the U.S. Congress of 1850" by the Reverend Arthur Dearing. Drummond p.74, Sabin 40818. Very scarce.
