- Description:
- The Private Journal of Robert Z. Johnston documents Johnston’s time as a student of Columbia Theological Seminary, 1858-1861, and his time as minister at Providence Presbyterian Church (Charlotte, N.C.) and Sharon Presbyterian Church (Charlotte, N.C.) from 1861-1871, and at First Presbyterian Church (Lincolnton, N.C.). The entries covering his years as a student of Columbia Theological Seminary consist primarily of "Sabbath-day reflections,” notes on sermons from James Henley Thornwell delivered at First Presbyterian Church (Columbia, S.C.), with occasional notes on sermons by John Bailey Adger. Contemporary events are also discussed, including the Civil War, emancipation, and life in the post-Civil War North Carolina.
