First there was the overly energetic professional baseball player at the turn of the century who later became the same overly energetic preacher of the Gospels to the American public in the teens and 20s. This fiery evangelical preacher converted more than 200,000 souls to Christianity and saved many more from drink with his temperance and anti-saloon sermons. Full of many never-seen-before B&W photos. A clean very presentable copy.
