The title of this work, like several other revival narratives of the era, openly acknowledges the author's debt, both literary and spiritual, to Edwards' highly influential Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God (1737).

Eau Claire, Wisconsin" written on the front. Covers worn and stained, contents very good. The Wisconsin Colonization Company was the brainchild of Eau Claire land developer Benjamin Faast, who hoped to transform the "cutover lands" (land that has been thoroughly logged without replanting or repurposing) of northern Wisconsin into a region of prosperous yeoman farmers. The company's promotional literature was designed to appeal to "urban workers, recent immigrants, and renting farmers. Faast portrayed farming in the Cutover region as a route to economic security and happiness.... To make his dream a reality, Faast believed that land dealers had to provide much more than the land itself" (Vogeler, Wisconsin, A Geography, 1986). He offered…
