Summary "Twenty-five Years in the West" by E. Manford is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author's extensive travels and experiences as he spreads his Universalist beliefs throughout various states in the western United States during a time of significant cultural and social change. The narrative offers insights into the challenges and adventures faced by the author, a preacher determined to promote his faith and engage in theological debates. The opening of the work sets the stage for the author's journey, beginning with his reflections on his early life in Massachusetts and his transformation from a shoemaker to a budding minister. Manford details his upbringing, including the loss of his father at a young age, his subsequent aspirations to be a merchant, and his eventual calling to the ministry after discovering Universalism. As he embarks on his travels, he highlights encounters with various people, debates on contentious issues like slavery and religious doctrine, and the hardships of life on the road. These anecdotes not only illustrate Manford's commitment to his faith but also paint a vivid picture of American life during the era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
