- Description:
- Born in slavery in Liberty County, Georgia, Robert Anderson felt the call to the ministry at nineteen. When twenty-nine, he bought himself and his wife and later tried to buy his mother but the Civil War freed her. A major theme of the narrative is financial struggle, both for himself and church expenses. Includes travels around Georgia preaching at various churches, attending the M.E. and A.M.E. Conferences, and attempt to sell his first book, which is included as an appendix. Also includes his views on the Millennium of Christ, conduct of life for young men and a list of the sponsors for his book.
"This book shall be called the Young men's guide, or, The brother in white."
