Additional Details

A fascinating look at the workings of the A.M. E. Church in Illinois in the decades following the Civil War. Includes short biographies and eulogies, and an occasional 'essay.' In one, the subject was the 'state of the country.' Much more here than the usual 'nuts and bolts' of meeting minutes.
