Description: EARLY BIOGRAPHY, TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES OF REV. JAMES CHAMPLIN, WHO WAS BORN BLIND; WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE DIFFERENT COUNTIES THROUGH WHICH HE TRAVELED IN AMERICA By Rev. James Champlin Published: Columbus, Oh, 1842. 206 pp. Original full leather binding. Boards and spine heavily scuffed. Hinges starting. Foxing throughout. Champlin was no more than twenty-one years old when he published this autobiography. He had already been licensed as a "public exhorter" in the Methodist church, and his work is full of religious admonitions and warnings against evil companions. He traveled over parts of east and middle Tennessee on preaching tours; and he made a trip to Boston, going across Virginia to Norfolk and then by water, returning through the Erie Canal and across Ohio and Kentucky. As would be expected, Champlin's comments on people are better than his descriptions of places. The chief value of the book is its reflection of the treatment and experiences of a blind traveler. HOWES C282. KAPLAN 997. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
