Excerpt from History of the Brethren in Virginia There are various phases of our history as a church, however, that have not yet been exploited, and there is much interesting history of a local character that is only awaiting the chronicler. This latter is an inviting and fruitful held, and will doubtless, in the years to come, yield a rich harvest of inspiring truth, when the facts are once culled out and recorded. It is to this latter class that the present work belongs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
